I create this sort of flange on the bottom piece to hold the lid in place, the lid is pretty much just a bowl. I leave the pieces attached to the bats so I can adjust the fit if need be when they stiffen up. The lid is trimmed in place on the bottom piece.
The feet are trimmed out like a regular bowl. The cuts are made with a cheap cheese cutter with the plastic depth gauge removed. Sometimes I make some of these with a tri-foot which is much trickier, I think it tends to look a little too delicate for stoneware.
This is what it looks like completed. Well, ya know...if blogger could keep the orientation correct.
Cheers!

I've not seen the foot on these before. Really nice. And thanks for the details on the process. I always assumed these were thrown as a single piece and cut at an angle as you described.
Love that foot!
Well - these cap jars are wonderful and not as simple as they appear. Love the silhouette the foot makes on the table. You've got some lucky students . . .
There is indeed a lot of craftsmanship in those little beauties. They're great. Thanks for the tutorial.
