This vase is about 10 1/2" tall. I did not see any cracks, but when filled with water, it leaked. The only noticeable blemishes I saw are on the top of the lip ( pic # 9 shows one hole ). It appears to be two small holes, what the purpose is I do not know. One other small spot on the back that feels a little rough, like the glazed is scratched or scuffed ( pic # 8 ). Please see pictures to better determine condition for yourself. Normal wear on the bottom.
