Amazon.com Review
Whether your oil of choice is olive, peanut, or simply vegetable, this lovely can adds a touch of old-world elegance to your table. Fill the brass-topped, stainless-steel can three-quarters full and set it next to your stove for an easy dash of flavor. For a traditional Mediterranean appetizer, pour a swirl of olive oil over cured black olives and serve with warm, crusty bread--and then leave the can on the table so guests can help themselves to more. Pair with a tall bottle of balsamic or raspberry vinegar for salad dressings, but don't add vinegar to the can, as it is meant to hold edible oils only. --Dana Van Nest

Mine didn't exactly leak, but... October 10, 2002

...I finally got rid of it, since the cheesy "anti-drip" tip on the spout didn't work, and I always ended up with a greasy spot on my stone countertops. Poor value for the $$
 oil marks on your counters November 11, 2001

Unbelievevably, I have actually used two of these over the years. My mother gave me the first one a few years ago when she came to visit. It looked very good, and we started using it to keep olive oil. It is quite handy to have a pouring-ready olive oil container on the counter!Well, shortly afterwards, we started getting frustrated by the fact that there was a constant ring of oil at the bottom of the can, right over the base (there is a 1mm rim around the base). I would clean it every time I used it - to no avail. Pretty soon we became accustomed to having an oil mark on the counter every time we put the oil can down - to the degree that we would be able to put it right back to where it was by aiming for the base print on the counter. Of course, I got quite frustrated - I tried everything - cleaning the drip of the pourer every time I used it, cleaning the can itself, inspecting it carefully to look for a leak - nothing doing. My guess is that the welding is not high quality and there is always a light leak, which adds to the fact that every drop of oil staying on the tip when you pour makes it doing to the base and stays on the base ring. Eventually, my wife gave me a very good looking oil can for a birthday and we tossed the old can. Well, a few years later, I really needed another oil can (so as to have cooking oil at hand on top of salad oil salad oil)- I went browsing and found another one of these for a few dollars- I still can't believe that I bought it. Of course, within a day, I had realized my mistake. I bought another model right away and am waiting to find an opportunity to go to Goodwill to get rid of this one. So, don't do what I did - learn from my experience - don't buy this oil can, unless you intend to keep it to a decorative use only! Take care all, camisdad

The Amco Italian Oil Can is great! It makes a perfect addition to the dinner table. My guests and I absolutely adore it's shape and concept. Also, it compliments any kitchen decor when not in use.
