Dual-Ended Pottery Trimming and Burnishing Tool

Two essential finishing techniques, brought together in one tool.

The finer details of pottery often take shape in the final stages. Designed for both trimming and burnishing, this dual-ended ceramic tool allows potters to refine interior surfaces, smooth edges, and bring greater definition to their work.

Its metal trimming loop removes excess clay, while the smooth finishing loop helps refine and burnish the surface. The elongated, wrapped handle offers a comfortable grip for controlled movements, particularly when working inside bowls, cups, and other curved vessels.

A practical addition to the potter's toolkit, especially for wet trimming and finishing.

The Art of Giving

Curator's Note

What makes this tool appealing is its simplicity. Two complementary functions allow the potter to move between removing clay and refining the surface without changing instruments. Particularly useful for the interior of a vessel, it brings a considered approach to the quieter stages of ceramic making.
