Cheinco Housewares
Formerly named J. Chein & Co., this New Jersey based company had been a well-known maker of tin toys. When the popularity of that product line declined, Cheinco Housewares emerged as a manufacturer of metal pantryware, mainly storage items, like canisters and other types of tins. These products can be found with popular Corelle and Corning Ware patterns, and most of them seem to be genuine designs produced under licence.

The Spice O' Life version was not an exact copy, Cheinco named it Spice Garden.
