Best Answer

In addition to international standards for prohibited items, air carriers can add other items they will not (officially) allow to be taken on board. So each airline may have different rules, though they are all almost identical and the main differences are in what they charge extra for or in the items they will refuse to pay compensation for in case of damage.

A copper pot is not excluded by international standards, that cover firearms, other weapons or items that could be used as a weapon, inflammable materials and such like and no airline is in the least likely to object, whether as hold luggage or, given the small size, as cabin baggage.

You seem aware that liquids in any substantial quantity are unlikely to be allowed on board so I am guessing you have made or will make separate (non air) arrangements for any return trip with filled containers.
