Versailles Petal Slump Mold for a Bowl with Foot Ring – Multiple Sizes

A more sculptural take on the classic bowl — with a base that forms itself.

The Versailles mold creates a softly segmented, petal-like bowl while simultaneously shaping a clean foot ring. The result: a piece that looks intentional and finished straight out of the mold.

What Makes Versailles Different

Defined petal structure
Subtle vertical segments create depth and light variation — the bowl feels more “designed” than flat

Foot ring formed in place
No flipping, no trimming, no corrections later — the base is already centered and clean

Naturally balanced form
The geometry guides the clay into a consistent shape every time

Designed for Slab Work

Works directly from a rolled slab
→ no wheel required

The clay settles into the form and releases naturally as it dries

Sizes

Available in multiple diameters (before shrinkage)
→ suitable for testing proportions or scaling production

Custom sizes available on request

Why Versailles

If the classic round feels too plain, this gives you structure, rhythm, and a more architectural look — without making the process harder.
