Honestly, not really a fan of earthenware pots due to how easy they are to make you can't really trust the quality of them. I know in India a lot of vendors use dung in their mixture and well... It's just that honestly you can't really tell if they have anything else wrong with them at a glance, overtime they might ware and degrade and lead to possible contamination, I don't think that they're really safe to use. Even the glazes can be problematic and sometimes you just won't even know. Often contaminating the food.
