The BOTTOM of the heavy bottomed pot seems to have spherical globules of

In addition, during the bleaching and acid washing a gray gel like

Now drill a hole in the bottom, and use it for a planter. Women have

One final thought. Get your wife some new pot. I'd suggest some
Columbian Gold!!! (Dont forget the papers and rolling machine).
