Traditionally a potter’s wheel manually powered by a kick-wheel was used in the production of Tobe ware, but in 1950 (Shōwa 25) production transitioned to the use of an electricaly powered potter’s wheel. The electric power potter’s wheel allowed for the use of plaster molds that standardized the process for mass production.
