These jars are different sized. The smaller is 4.5 inches long and 5.5 inches at widest. The larger is 5 inches long and 6.5 inches at the wide. The smaller one does have an almost unnoticeable repair on one side of the ceramic at the top.
Gzhel pottery is the iconic Russian style white & blue pottery made in over 30 villages to the south of Moscow. This art, centered initially around hand-painted ceramic pottery, evolved into complex designs when the Tzar Aleksey Mikhallovich traded them as medical jars!
