'there are fortunes' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'to be made in ceramics' is the wordplay.
'be made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ceramics' becomes 'ps' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' with letters rearranged gives 'ot'.
'ot' put into 'ps' is 'POTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pots that I've seen before include "Cooking utensils" , "Containers; oodles" , "Preserves" , "Ceramics; pockets (ball)" , "Stop (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
