  The International Secretariat of Potters (German: Internationales Sekretariat der Töpfer) was a global union federation bringing together trade unions representing workers making tiles and related items for the construction industry.
  
  The federation was established in 1907, on the initiative of Adam Drunsel, of the German Central Union of Potters. It dissolved in 1922, its members instead joining the International Federation of Building Workers.
