- The workflow asks users to orient the pan with its handle at 6 o’clock and record each mark’s position.
Field notes
The workflow tells users to note the wording exactly, record numbers and ring or handle details, and skip clues they cannot see clearly. Its examples include three notches at 9, 12, and 3 with a size number at 12, as well as a smooth base with the size number on the handle. The site says its date ranges draw on collector references and period catalogs, showing both when those sources conflict.
