Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for reproducing the size of a first ceramic ware in the making of a second ceramic ware. In embodiments, the first ceramic ware may be received on a pottery wheel. A hinged pointer may then be presented to a position on the first ceramic ware, where the hinged pointer may include a pointer connected to a supporting structure by way of a hinge. The first ceramic ware may then be removed from the pottery wheel, and material for the making of the second ceramic ware may be placed on the pottery wheel. The process of making the second ceramic ware may then progress, where the making includes sizing the second ceramic ware to the position of the hinged pointer.

A method for reproducing the size of a first ceramic ware in the making of a second ceramic ware, comprising:
- receiving the first ceramic ware on a pottery wheel;
- presenting a hinged pointer to a position on the first ceramic ware, wherein the hinged pointer includes a pointer connected to a supporting structure by way of a hinge;
- removing the first ceramic ware from the pottery wheel;
- and
- placing material for the making of the second ceramic ware on the pottery wheel and progressing through the process of making the second ceramic ware, wherein the making includes sizing the second ceramic ware to the position of the hinged pointer.
A system for reproducing the size of a first ceramic ware in the making of a second ceramic ware, comprising:
- a hinged pointer originally positioned at a point on a first ceramic ware on a pottery wheel, wherein the hinged pointer includes a pointer connected to a supporting structure by way of a hinge;
- and
- a second ceramic ware subsequently placed on the pottery wheel and sized in making to the position of the hinged pointer.
