The jar has an approximate 1-1/2 inch crack running down the rim terminating just above one of the applied flower sprays. There is another approximate 1-1/2-inch haircrack running diagonal at one side near the rimedge. The cover has an approximate 4-inch haircrack running through the metal knop, probably caused by over-tightening.
