Free, Configurable Ceramic Vase Template to Print

Moldea generates the pattern for a two-section vase (a lower and upper body split at a waist), built for curved shapes without a wheel: adjust each diameter and height independently, then download a ready-to-print pattern at true 1:1 scale.

About this vase

A two-section vase: a lower part from the base to the waist, and an upper part from the waist to the rim — each with its own cone development. The default is a 70mm base, 55mm waist, 95mm rim and 130mm total height (60+70mm), and all five measurements are independent.

How to use the template

  1. Open the tool with the vase already selected and adjust base, waist, rim and both heights with the sliders.
  2. Check the 3D preview to see how the silhouette changes before printing — the waist is what gives it the curve.
  3. Download the SVG or print both sections at true 1:1 scale (each page includes its own 100×100mm calibration square).
  4. Cut both sections from a slab, join each along its straight edge, then glue the two halves together at the waist once leather-hard.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the vase need two patterns instead of one?

Because it has a waist — the profile changes width partway up, so it takes two separate cone developments (lower and upper) that get joined afterward.

What are the default dimensions?

A 70mm base, 55mm waist, 95mm rim, with 60mm of height in the lower section and 70mm in the upper (130mm total) — all adjustable.

Can I make the waist more pronounced, or almost straight?

Yes — the bigger the difference between the waist and the base/rim, the sharper the curve; keep it close to the other measurements for a nearly straight vase.
