No chips or cracks in the porcelain. Cast iron is good and the 4 rubber feet are great! This is 9 1/8" high overall by 5 1/4" wide. The porcelain section is almost 4 1/4" square. Get to hang on the wall or set on the stove. Weighs almost 1 pound BEFORE packing, shipping is based on 2 pounds. I bubble wrap and pack well.
