Pottery gauge

A pottery gauge is one of various tools used in pottery to ensure that pots thrown on a potter's wheel are uniform in size or shape. Some pottery gauges simply ensure that the height and diameter are consistent, others are templates or shapers.[1]

In archaeology, a pottery gauge is a profile gauge used for pots.
