I think that the idea that a ceramic pot can "breathe" is absurd. Take that pot, securely plug the holes and then fill it with water. See how fast the water runs out throught the breathing pores.
The way to introduce oxygen to your roots is first, use a porous soil. When you water, water thoroughly until the excess runs out the drain holes. As the water passes through the soil, it will pull air behind it. Thats how roots are oxygenated.
