Does the thickness of the terracotta make a difference? These were
very sturdy.

The frost proof pots are fired at a higher temperature. Thickness makes no
difference, as it is surface permeability to water which leads to the frost
damage.

Thanks, Jeff. That would certainly be something to look into. I know parts
of Turkey get v. cold in winter but I doubt if that's around Dalyan!
