Some color variation from the lid to the jar.  The is some worn paint on the knob of the lid and a small area on the lid.  No apparent cracks or chips.  There is cracking in the glaze which is normal for a piece of this age.  I'm unsure of what the signed marks/characters say.  It measures approximately 8" from the bottom to the top of the lid.  The jar alone is 5.5".
