Hi Kitoi.
Where are the feet in relation to the cracks? I'm still working on a problem with cracks appearing at the corners of where the feet meet the sides and base which is the thickest part of the pot.
The cracks in yours seem to come from the drainage holes. When do you put the holes in and how much pressure to you use? Is the base supported from underneath when you put the holes in?
Penny.
