I was very pleased!!! I am usually very picky but I truly could not be more pleased! The color is a muted deep red with a beautiful glaze.  The largest canister is a good size, but has just a smaller diameter opening at the top, so I can't place my plastic sugar container inside, but will find a smaller plastic container.  All the lids have airtight rings and fits snugly.  It's very eye catching!  Love them!!!
