Square pot or round? Square is easy. One cubic cm is equivalent to 1 ml.

23 x 23 x 26 = 13754 / 1000 = 13.75 litres

However, pots are usually tapered towards the bottom so zigzag's figure of 11 litres is pretty close. If the pot is tapered then taking the width and depth measurements from half way up the pot will allow you to calculate the volume more accurately.
