HGE29 Pompeii. May 2006. Looking east to entrance doorway. According to Mau, a potter’s workshop with two ovens was located here. The ovens which were not large, had an upper division in which were placed the vessels to be baked. Beneath this was a firebox, underneath the floor above being pierced with holes to let the heat through. The vault of one of the ovens was constructed of parallel rows of jars fitted into one another. See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey, F. W., Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. (p. 386). According to Garcia y Garcia, a bomb fell during the night of 18th September 1943 thoroughly hitting the workshop. This destroyed the two rooms, 29 and 30, with their respective ovens. See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.163)
