It has been suggested that the smaller examples of this type may have been used for water or wine, the covers of the smaller examples serving as drinking vessels. A related example is in the Hunt Museum, Limerick, Ireland (museum no. HCN 288), and another is illustrated by Antonio Ragona, La Maiolica Siciliana Dalle Origin All'Ottocento, Palermo, 1986, no. 204.
