According to Warscher, quoting Fiorelli,

“1.3.1. Officina di un pistor dulcarius, che nella taberna prospiciente la via esposti i prodotti lavorati nell’attigua cella, la quale prendeva lume dalla bottega, avendone altra più rozza alle spalle, ed a cui si perveniva passando innanzi al forno; una scala di legno poggiata al muro, ch’è a sinistra della porta, menava alle stanze superiori.

Nel foro per il fumo dello forno è incastrata una cornice di terracotta, forse semplicemente un pezzo di anfora.

In fondo si vede il muro con fori di traverse della casa No. 3.

(translation: “A workshop of a sweet-pastry maker, that in the shop overlooking the roadway, displayed the products made in the adjacent room, which took its light from the shop, having another rustic room behind, and through which you passed to reach the oven; a wooden ladder rested against the wall, which is to the left of the door, leading to the upper rooms.

In the smoke hole in the oven was embedded a terracotta cornice, perhaps simply a piece of amphora.

At the rear you see the wall with holes of crossbeams of the house at I.3.3.”)
