Limoges Hump Mold / Drape Mold for Clay

Create refined ceramic plates, serving dishes, and slab-built pieces with our Limoges clay mold, inspired by a soft petal-like silhouette. It can be used as a hump mold, drape mold, plate mold, or general pottery slab mold, depending on your forming method.

Each mold is 3D printed to help you shape consistent forms more easily and with better repeatability, saving time while keeping a clean, elegant profile. It works well both for first-time makers and for experienced potters producing cohesive tableware series.

Available in multiple diameters, the Limoges mold makes it simple to build a full collection of matching pieces while preserving the same graceful shape across sizes.

Designed and made in France

Clay shrinkage note
Please remember that clay shrinks during drying and firing. A typical slab-built clay project often shrinks by around 10–12%, depending on the clay body and firing temperature. If you need a specific final size, be sure to account for shrinkage when selecting the mold diameter.

Helpful extra detail
The bottom of the mold includes the mold name and dimensions, making it easier to identify and organize in your studio.
