you can (if you didn't already know) use different Csets for
custom pots or slashable things (that don't have a treasure chest in the same room) very easily, although it will use some room in your combos.

tile editor screen
#1 make your "pot" but make it transparent
#2 copy it to another empty square
#3 color one of them all the same color (a color not used in a floor tile that you want to use) to make a sillhouette of it.

#4 take any floor tile you like and use (O) to put the SOLID color over it
#5 then on the tile you just made make the solid color transparent
now you have a floor tile with a pot shaped hole

now put them in your combos (the new pot and your new "holey" floor tile)

in ZC
#6 put your pot on layer zero, in whatever cset you colored it in.
#7 put your new floor tile on layer 1 or 2 over the pot tile.
#8 set your new undercombo using the unmodified original floor tile.

now you have a custom Slashable pot that doesn't rely on using just the Cset of the pot / floor tile, and eliminates the need to create a "pot on a platform"
so when you slash away the pot you see nothing but floor in the color of the dungeon or overworld color, no matter what Cset the pot is.
I also set the pot to flowers to seem to break when hit.

I just discovered this and wanted to share it for those who don't already know it.
