Throwing rib - TR028A

Stackable Mug Clay Rib Pottery Tool | Dual-Sided Ceramic Mug Shaper Profile

Achieve Consistent Pottery Shapes with This Stackable Mug Shaping Rib!
Stop struggling with uneven nesting joints and unmatched pottery forms! This precision-crafted pottery rib is your ultimate solution for achieving perfectly uniform stackable mugs, precise cylinder heights, and consistent shapes in your wheel-thrown ceramics. Perfect for both beginner potters and professional production ceramic artists, this specialized tool drastically reduces your studio production time and enhances your pottery consistency.

Stacking and nesting mugs require extreme precision in your thrown cylinder width, base dimensions, and wall thickness. This profile rib eliminates the guesswork, acting as an exact template so your mug feet lock flawlessly into the rims of the pieces below them, every single time.

Dual-Sided Precision for Custom Stacking Proportions
Unlike standard pottery ribs, this dual-sided template offers two distinct nesting styles in one tool to give you full control over the size and look of your mug's recessed lower section:
•Side A (25% Stacking Height): Features a subtle, sleek indentation where the lower nesting portion accounts for exactly 25% of the overall rib height. Ideal for modern, low-profile stackable mug designs.
•Side B (40% Stacking Height): Features a deeper, more pronounced transition where the lower section accounts for 40% of the overall rib height. Perfect for a bolder aesthetic or a more secure, deep-nesting lock.

Key Features & Benefits:
•Consistent Stacking & Nesting: Easily replicate identical forms for stackable mugs, streamlining your pottery production and matching sets.
•Durable 3D-Printed Plastic: Crafted with high-quality, eco-friendly filament, providing a sturdy, rigid, and reliable tool for daily pottery studio use. (Note: Tool is not food safe for direct food contact).
•Double Bevel Edge: Designed with a precise double bevel that allows for seamless use by both right-handed and left-handed potters.
•Time-Saving Studio Tool: Increase your wheel-throwing efficiency, reduce clay waste, and eliminate errors by creating uniform pieces.
•Perfect Pottery Guide Rib: Acts as an exact physical template against the clay wall, making it easy to form sharp, crisp transitions on the pottery wheel.
