Here are some other pictures of that patera that was found north of Hadrian's Wall and it looks like this was a larger cooking type of pot with the attatched heavy base.
It became so fire worn and burnt that the handle came adrift but was repaired in Roman times,there were two found one in bits that shows the heavy cast type of base that was fitted to take the heat of a fire.
