A regular clay pot or sand pot is just a pot, meant for slow cooking
or braising. No steam chimney. The Yunnan pot you are talking about
is a specialized design. It is, as you say, meant for steaming, (and
soup-making) but it is not what most people mean when they say "clay
pot." I'd be very surprised if the OP had a Yunnan pot. -aem
