Speedball® Boss Base™ (Green)
Developed in collaboration with professional potter Rich Brown and inspired by the traditions of North Carolina pottery,
the Speedball® Boss Base™ in green is an ergonomic tool designed to help potters create clean, consistent bases
with confidence. Press into a centred ball of clay and pull outward to form a flat base with straight sides.
Engineered to produce a uniform 9.5mm (3/8") thick base, it removes guesswork and supports repeatable results across mugs,
bowls and cylinders. When inverted, it can also be used to shape plates with a smooth, flat surface.
