Hello everyone, I would like to know the age of this small Chinese ginger  pot cracked green glaze. It is 12 cm high and the bottom does not seem old but I know nothing! Thank you in advance .

This is green glazed earthenware. It is usually said to be a tea caddy.
Many of those made in the Qing dynasty have a carved decoration and unglazed neck.
This one is probably late Qing dynasty to republic period.

A tea caddy is for storing tea leaves, not a tea pot.  :-)
