A jig for extrusion-forming is to be used to obtain a formed ceramic article by extrusion-forming. The jig for extrusion-forming includes a cylindrical extrusion passage into which kneaded clay is fed; a filtering mesh which is arranged to cover an inlet of the extrusion passage and which removes coarse particles and foreign matter from the clay; a first porous plate brought into contact with the filtering mesh and provided with a plurality of through-holes; a second porous plate arranged to leave a space from the first porous plate in the extrusion passage and provided with a plurality of through-holes; and a die arranged to leave a space from the second porous plate in the extrusion passage, and the arrangement of the through-holes of the first porous plate does not coincide with the arrangement of the through-holes of the second porous plate in the extruding direction of the clay.
