stationary part may either be made in one piece with the body or may fit loosely
upon it. The movable part revolves about a vertical axis preferably fixed to it the
upper end of which forms a knob or handle by which the cover can be turned, the
lower end entering a hole or bearing at the top of the stationary part of the cover.
The lower edge of the moveable part of the cover bears upon the lip or top edge of
the dish or vessel which allows the cover to be revolved smoothly although the
vertical axis fits loosely. This is a point of importance in vessels made of earthenware.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Covered Dishes and other Vessels.
I, JOHN SLATER of Nilo Street Works Burslem in the County of Stafford Potter
do hereby declare the nature of this Invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This Invention relates to that class of vessel; in which part of the cover is movable.
According to this Invention I make the vessel circular, the movable part of the
cover being of similar form to and fitting outside of the stationary part. The
stationary part is made separate from the body and fits loosely upon it, so that it can
be lifted off. The movable part revolves about a vertical axis preferably fixed to it
the upper end of which forms a knob or handle by which the cover can be turned,
the lower end entering a hole or bearing at the top of the stationary part of the
cover. The lower edge of the moveable part of the cover bears upon the lip or
top edge of the dish or vessel which allows the cover to be revolved smoothly
although the vertical axis fits loosely. This is a point of importance in vessels inade
of earthenware.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figures 1 and 2 are vertical sections of a dish constructed according to this
Invention. In Figure 1 the dish is shown open and in figure 2 closed Figures 3
and 4 are corresponding plans. a is the body of the dish. is the stationary part of
the cover. c is the movable part of the cover, it has fixed to it the knob d and stem e
the latter projecting downwards through a hole in the part b.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The combination with a dish or vessel of a loose cover made in two parts, one
capable of rotation about a vertical axis relatively to the other and one part lying
above the other when the dish or vessel is open.

page_text: 2. The combination with a dish or vessel of a loose cover made in two parts one
capable of rotation about a vertical axis relatively to the other one part lying above
the other when the dish or vessel is open and the lower edges of both parts being in
contact with the dish or vessel.
3. The combination with a dish or vessel of a loose cover made in two parts one
capable of rotation about a vertical axis relatively to the other one part lying above
the other when the dish or vessel is open and one part carrying a vertical stem
passing through a hole in the other.
4. The combination with a dish or vessel of a loose cover made in two parts one
capable of rotation about a vertical axis relatively to the other one part lying above
the other when the dish or vessel is open, one part carrying a vertical stem passing
through a holo in the other and the lower edges of both parts being in contact with
the dish or vessel.
