How big are decorative kitchen canisters?

Decorative kitchen canisters are typically measured by volume rather than dimensions; however, most don’t exceed 10” tall. Large canisters can hold up to 54 oz. Smaller models can hold as little as 8 oz. The size you need for your kitchen depends on what you plan to store inside.

Large canisters are perfect for dry goods like flour and sugar or snacks like crackers and cookies. Mid-sized canisters can be used for a coffee station to house tea, instant espresso, sweeteners, or powdered creamer. Small canisters are best suited for holding frequently used herbs and spices or salt and pepper.
