    I only suggested glass because it might look better. Is there that much difference in heat properties between glass and clay? I guess glass is a supercooled liquid so...

    It seems like you truely do not understand what you are working with.

    First of all, clay is porous, so water can evaporate from the entire surface of the clay pot. This is an essential element of the cooling method.
    Second, glass is not a supercooled liquid. It is merely a substance that does not solidify well.
