Create irregular ceramic plates (every mold has unique shape/number!) or shallow dishes, and slab-built pieces with our Riviera clay mold, featuring a smooth rounded form and a clean, timeless profile. It can be used as a hump mold, drape mold, plate mold, or general pottery slab mold, depending on the technique you prefer.

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.
