Dear Adam,
A couple of points.
Invert your pots to dry them so that the base gets its fair share of
access to fresh air.?
Why do the bases need to be one inch thick? Could you throw to a
uniform dimension and turn excess clay from the underside so that the
base has a thickness equal to that of the walls?
Hope you find a solution.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis. Redhill, South Australia

Because it can be very damp here in Japan, for the final stages of
drying, potters make good use of the sun and wind outside.

I suspend a 60 watt light bulb in my bigger jars, usually for about a
week. It seems to work well.

Let me add my two cents about drying and firing thick pots.
In whatever state they are moisture-wise, if possible lay them on their
sides in the kiln with the bottoms pointed toward the center of the kiln and
away from elements or burners. This will improve your success rate.
