I've also used this technique successfully, with a cheap italian terracotta cooking pot pot inverted over the bread. It gives an excellent crust.
Elizabeth David refers to it in her Bread book and calls it a "cloche". She suggests a terracotta flowerpot (thoroughly cleaned), but I couldn't find one that was wide enough & still able fit inside the oven!
