Storing potted minis in the house over winter?

A classmate in a pottery class I take for fun was making
planters. Seeing the longitudinal shape of what she was making, I thought out
loud that I have been considering some kind of trough to better showcase some
of my minis where I can see them better. But that I didn’t know how I would
overwinter them in a pot, and would not want to risk having a labor-intensive
handmade pot break over winter.

Then she said, that SHE has her minis in pots, and stores
them in the basement over winter! I had no idea you could do that. (I had no
idea she grew hostas, either: she says she must have 200 different ones.) She
just puts them in the coldest spot of the basement. That would not be very cold
for me; the cement floor in a basement closet is the coldest, where I store
begonias and caladiums.

Has anyone heard of doing this before?
