MDD:
Depends on the type of shaila, as I said there.
You would not ask Rav Elyashiv about your pot if you saw him, not without asking your own Rov furst. You would probably ask for a bracha.
But hey, if you would rather ask about your pot, and waste the opportunity, when you could have asked your own Rov (since the answer is Pashut) Kol Hakavod. When you win the Lotto, I’ll buy your ticket for $5.
