I have this problem, too - and I've got two solutions, neither of which works well
enough for production, but suits me pretty well:
1) if the piece allows, (especially porcelain), trim very wet, and then pull the
spout.
2) as this won't work in most cases, I have a collection of sturdy round tupperwares
what I use as chucks (right word?), setting the pitcher down on an upside down
tupperware, so that it is just barely not touching the bat. The, I put the whole
contraption on a Giffin Grip and center the pitcher itself.
Hope this is of some help - also, thanks to all who responded with Chris Wolf's glaze
recipes - I really appreciate it!

I did not catch the original question on trimming pitchers but I have one
more way to add to your collection of ways to trim a pitcher that works for
me ... thats to trim then put a wet shammy on the lip thats to be pulled
till its soft enough to pull . I usually add more clay to the spout after
I pull it too .. Cat
