Piccolpassa of Castel Durante (1524-1579) In the
original Italian with Translation and an Introduction
by Bernard Rackham and Albert Van de Put.  London, The
Victoria and Albert Museum, 1934.
Boccali, fogliette =96 jugs, small jugs with spout and
without
Folie da tener Olio, Aceto et Aqua =96 Cruets for
containing oil vinegar and water

These are probably jugs of set sizes.  Picolpasso
includes ratios for making these, for reference the
fogliete basse (short) is half the depth of the
fogliete longhe (long) which is half again of the
boccali.
