Here is the type of pot that I use. It follows the same type of principle I think. Probably what Critter is talking about. The pot on the left is not glazed. It sits in the pot on the right, the ceramic one. I put water in the ceramic one and sit the other one down into it. I have several of these and my AVs seem quite happy with them. I have wondered, like Bob said, if I buy just a plain clay pot and plug the bottom and put it inside another pot if that would work the same way. But I have not tried it yet.

These pots are also the ones that I had mentioned that I would like to paint someday since they are so plain. What kind of paint would you use on the ceramic part? Anyone have any ideas?
