Ceramic fish rotisserie

Saw this amazing contraption in the Nantes History Museum - a three-legged ceramic oven with a rotisserie rod, complete with crank handle, dating from 1901.

I'm not sure whether a fire heated the oven from below - perhaps it sat on embers - or maybe hot charcoal sat in the base beneath the fish.
