219. (24183) Saucepan

 PRODITI (sic), showing that the maker's name was Lucius Ansius Epaphroditus. 



KETTLES 



The four following vessels are cooking pots of similar shape, but 

 varying size. Each has a cover attached by a chain to the bail. The 

 first two have no base; the third has a flat bottom; the fourth, 

 a base-ring. All four, when in use for cooking, must have been set 

 on low trivets over a charcoal fire. 



220. (24178) Large Kettle 



The cover, which rises from circumference to center in a succession of steps, 

 fits inside the mouth of the kettle. 

 Naples 74766. 



221. (24171) Kettle 



The cover is similar to that of the preceding number, but flatter.

 Pompeii, Fig. 204 a. 



222. (24173) Kettle 



The rings in which the bail plays are attached by rivets to a sort of collar 

 encircling the neck of the pot. The cover fits over the mouth. 

 Naples 74775 (?). Mus. Borb. V, lviii, 4. 



223. (24172) Kettle 



The bail ends in rudely modeled birds' heads. Its attachments and the 

 cover resemble those of the preceding number.

MOLDS

 article of food, such as pastry, was shaped. They imitate a pig, a 

 dressed hare, and a ham.
