No cracks, no major chips, some roughness (tick size chips) on the lid and jar where both come in contact with each other. This is 13" high overall, 8" at the base (point to point), 10.5" high without the lid and weighs 7 pounds. No buffer silicone/rubber seal, if there was one. Would take a 5.5" seal. No makers name or logo anywhere. The jar is 6 panel sides. Shipping is based on 8 pounds. I bubble wrap and pack well.
