Actually, you should be able to make a compression handle around the bowl just at or slightly below where it is at it's widest (I usually use a leather strap). Wrap the strap around the pot, pinch it tight with a binder clip, then use the ends as a flexible handle. You could also make a handle like that using bailing wire or a wire coat hanger and just twist it up tight enough for the pot to just sit in it. If there were a outward bent lip around the top, that'd be an even better spot to bind around.
