I really liked this pot.  I would recommend putting a cheaper pot inside.  The first time I filled it with dirt and then the plant.  I noticed then that it leaked.  Thus I would again put a cheaper pot inside to hold your plant and then hide it with moss.  Or spray the inside with a waterproof spray and then add a lot of dirt.  It's a fine piece and yes the painting job isn't perfect but it goes with the aged look.
