glazed pot

Coated clay vessel

A glazed pot is a ceramic container coated with a glassy finish that makes it waterproof and often decorative.

The glaze—a liquid mixture applied before firing—hardens into a smooth, sometimes colorful surface: The glazed pots on the patio hold geraniums.

Unglazed pots like terracotta remain porous and breathe better but dry out faster.
