Hole piercer is a tool to pierce holes into clay, for lamps where the wire has to pass, for tea pots and for general decorating into clay.

There are two types:
a) The main one is made in different sizes, with a handle and a stainless steel blade which is long, solid, straight, finishes with a point and has indenters lengthwise wise to prevent clogging.
b) Is basically the same, only small ones are made and the whole blade is round and tapers to a point.
