It depends on the glazed pot too. Some will crack easily while others would probably survive an Antarctic winter (just kidding on this part). I have pitcher plants in a Vietnamese glazed bowl with no drainage holes and it has been outdoors for a few winters with no visible damage. I have a strawberry pot with sedums and sempervivums that went through at least two winters with no damage but then it had a couple of the small bowls break off a winter or two ago (I think the cups were bumped by something hard which caused the original cracking). Safest bet is to take indoors if you value the pot more than the plants in it.
