This is a very beautiful piece with no chips or cracks. The design is very bold and looks great . This jar is a pound barrel jar with surface wear and build up but nothing that affects the wonderful look of this piece. The metal lid is original to the jar and as seen has surface wear and build up, dings and dents but is completely solid and is of course original to the jar. There is some surface wear and build up on the glass but as seen looks great and does not affect the wonderful look or structure at all. This really is a wonderful looking piece. Item # A - 629
