Tall wine goblet of clear glass with a narrow, elongated bowl, the long stem shaped to resemble the female torso with the application of a translucent, amber color glass, with round foot.
Stemless, conical drinking glass of clear glass and decorated with a thread of pink glass that spirals around the cone of the bowl and into the foot, which is comprised of a thick, clear cube-shaped blob of glass.
Decoration transfer printed in maroon. "The key piece of the ["Our America"] series is the…chop plate that features, at top center, the national eagle above the American shield, the eagle's wings outspread over a city to the left and farmland to the right. Below this group and covering most of the face of the plate, is an outline map of the United States that has small perspective drawings of items or activities common to each state or region."
