Copper pots should be lined before they are used for plants. Copper can be absorbed by the roots of the plant and can kill the plant. Copper pots used outside may develop a green patina from oxidation.
Most real copper pots/pans will have a copper bottom. It will be a different color than the rest of the pot.

They're the same, actually. Copper-clad pots are always made out of stainless steel, so the pots are identical. The trick is that a copper-clad stainless pot absorbs heat better due to the copper cladding - the copper conducts heat better than stainless.
