Tall wine goblet with a burgundy bowl, the exterior partially covered with a textured white glass, the lip with two intentional chips from which burgundy-colored glass drips emerge and run down the bowl, the long stem descends into an open burgundy and white flower-like form with similar glass drips and linear threads that spiral to the foot, which is round and of clear glass.
Very opulent crazy quilt of silk, velvet and satin, in the center a large burgundy-colored square with a bouquet of silk embroidered flowers framed by four fans of fabric and embroidery, most of the patches are heavily embroidered, some are painted, a wide satin border embroidered with a strawberry vine, with a faded ribbon with "Grand Commandery State of Iowa" and dated 1883.
