In the "neck" parts of the coffee pots narrowing towards the top, the pronounced "shoulder" can be well made out on which the metal ring of the filter rested. Between the lower part of the "shoulder" and the rim of the closed lid a 4-5 mm wide gap can be seen. That much space was required by the metal ring that fixed the linen bag. Unfortunately most of the filter inlets were lost in the course of times, while the pots were still used as ornaments or in their original function, thus here and there we may come across them even today. The new design became widespread by the early 1800s under the name of "biggin". 83
