Likely a jade.  
They tend to like terracotta from my experience but any is okay as long as you check the soil before watering and it has drainage. Typically to make it sturdier, people will chop its head off and force it to grow new shoots, basically doubling its amount of “heads” and making it sturdier to hold so much weight.  
I don’t want to give false info on whether your plant is ready for that, so do some further research before attempting.
