Hello,

I live in Brazil and would really love to use a clay pot. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be marketed in Brazil (and the only US online store willing to ship it to Brazil will charge some 250 USD for it while the pot itself costs some 20 USD ) so I will need to import one. Well, but how to do it?

It is a fragile item and the probability that it would survive a flight in checked-in luggage borders on zero. I am thinking about placing it in a firm box and carry it on board in my hand luggage. The box would not be very big - people definitely have larger carry-on luggage than that. The question is: will the security guys let me? After all, I might break the pot and use the sharp sherds to kill someone... Does anyone has a similar experience?

In case it matters, it will be a flight from Europe. Actually, it is not a direct flight so I am in for two security checks.

Hoping to hear good news.
