Ken, I'd love to see some of the pots that work well for you. The saucers on the above pots are, in fact, attached to the pot itself, but I think they may be too small. They are more "drip-catchers" than saucers to hold water.

Since most of my pots are stoneware, they don't absorb water into the walls, Is this good or bad? I had thought of making some from earthenware clay, but they would be more fragile and would tend to build up salts in the walls that would form that nasty white crust on the outside that has to be dealt with. Your thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback!
