Brown pickling container with a black drip pattern. For pickling, making umeboshi (pickled plums), miso, etc. Diameter: Approximately 27cm Height: Approximately 27cm While I don't see any noticeable damage, please consider that this is an old item. There are uneven spots and scratches from the manufacturing process. There is a scratch that looks like a crack, but it's not. I don't think it will crack further, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I put water in it for a full day, and there were no leaks. It would also make an impactful umbrella stand or pot cover.
