A 7.9 in plastic bent-leg caliper for matching lids to openings and repeating rim widths.
Styles Blue
The caliper is about 7.9 in long, so it suits mugs, jars, teapots and small to medium canisters.
It is lightweight plastic, which will not rust and is gentle on soft clay.
Yes, clay shrinks as it dries and fires. Set the 7.9 in caliper on the gallery, then check the lid against the same setting, so both parts are measured at the same stage and shrink together.
Take both readings at the same stage, ideally soft leather-hard. Matching moisture keeps the lid and opening in step, so they still fit after firing.

Calipers take the guesswork out of making lids. Measure the inside of a gallery, then check the lid against the same setting so both pieces match before they dry.
The bent legs reach around a curved belly or rim to measure the widest point of a form.
Allow for clay shrinkage by measuring both parts at the same stage.
