I actually have that exact canister set.  My red and white Lustroware are my main display canisters, and this metal set is the “ugly stepsister” that lives in the pantry.  This is really a cute project and believe me, you can find that canister set at any antique shop or flea market for under $10.  I think I got my set for $5.  I love retro kitchen canisters.
