you made a very interesting example, with the flower pot. The pot fragments representing Earth's tectonic plates. This is exactly the case of earth's broken surface.
Another point, which was of great interest and debate; was the mention of a molten layer, by which the plates move. Many understand, that beneath Earth's hardened surface is dense molten magma. The "KY Jelly" or substance, which allows for plate movement is the magma.
Yet, what must be understood is how the plates actually became 'puzzle' like segments. An enormous force of pressure had to sever the earth's crust to massive tectonic plates. If you will, think of how the Earth may have looked, before continental drift or tectonic plates...This now, takes to the theoretical 'Pangaea'.
Allow me to say, Pangaea is not quite correct; according to my research. Yes, the plates move. However, there was not a continuous movement throughout the millions of years. The surface was once one. There was a time when Earth's surface was mostly solid all about the planet. There were no plates. The surface was rock. There were hardly any surface fissures, this was millions of years of Earth's evolution.
Pangaea is understood by researching the tectonic plates of earthly fractures on the surface. The theory of Pangaea weakens on the explanation of plate movement and plate severance. Much like the broken pot, some form of energy fragmented the pot. As is with Earth, some form of energy fragmented its great surface.

An interesting statement reads:

Editor, NCGT Journal
Sir,
It is high time that special efforts are made to bring our young geoscientists away from the intoxicating
and glamorous but misleading theories on plate motion, magnetic polarity, climate ,etc., so that they
stay on the right track.
A powerful expression, as I have pondered before boundaries of nay sayers; represented as scientists. They are vanguards positioned to reinforce weak, antiquated and false theories for personal benefit. It won't be long before people like you and I set the scientific record straight on tectonic plate motion, magnetic polarity, mountain building, volcanoes, earthquakes, ocean ridges and trenches...etc.
