Make a bird bath, You stack them upside down on top of each other, larger one on bottom and than next size until you reach the height you want. Place a large terra cotta saucer on top to hold water. Paint or leave natural.

If you have different sizes, you can glue them upside down. The largest on the bottom. Use three or four, and the top one would be upright where you could put a plant in it, or fake flowers, of different colors and kinds. Good Luck!
Donate them to a school to use for art projects
Yes, ask at any local schools, especially those located in less advantaged areas, I'm sure that teachers would welcome the donation to use in teaching kids about the science of "real" plants growing. More often that a person would think, there is just no budget in schools for these kinds of materials.
I use my broken pieces for drainage in the bottom of my garden pots.
Place inside small pot a baggie with potting soil, tulip bulbs, &plant food. Cover with the saucer. Tie with faffia. Ready to plant hostess or birthday gift. You can also spray enamel paint on top of a bucket of water, then dip the pot and saucer for a spring look.
you can make cute 'statues' from them...soldiers, angels, tin men. You do this ny stacking them (one upside down, then next base to base, then opening to opening) and painting them into figures
Is this the red pot?
