slip casting - next level pottery

Slip casting allows you to quickly make multiple identical items, so how to do this.  Maybe make a box, place the fired clay item in it, pour in plaster (quicklime, sand, and water) and let harden. This will make the mold. In the future you can mix clay and water in a bucket or barrel and pour it into the mold. Let it dry, and then fire it.

If you want to get more complicated you can use fat as a mold release, and you could maybe even cast carved or chiseled items
