II.3.8 Pompeii. December 2005. Entrance.
According to Maiuri – “Officina di un vasaio.
Along the southern front of the insula VI (note: this would be the old number of present II.3) opens the prospectus of a low building covered in plaster and furnished with slits, with roof all around sloping onto the street, and here from the painted sign outside, would have been the workshop of a potter.”
See Notizie degli Scavi, 1939, (p.198).

According to Varone and Stefani, a graffito CIL IV 7571 was found on the west of the entrance doorway.
Graffito CIL IV 7570 was found on the east of the doorway.
See Varone, A. and Stefani, G., 2009. Titulorum Pictorum Pompeianorum, Rome: L’erma di Bretschneider, (p.208)

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de) these read as:

Photus    [CIL IV 7571]

Paquium  II vir(um)
[…]  Nicanor cupit    [CIL IV 7570]

According to Della Corte, he thought the unknown owner or potter of this pottery, must have been named Nicanor.
This was due to the electoral recommendation, CIL IV 7570, painted in red near to the entrance of the atrium. 
Two other electoral recommendations, painted in black, were also found nearby, these were
Nor. Nica (rogat)
Nor [Nica] fac     [these were unedited]
See Della Corte, M., 1965.  Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.387-8).
