Log Cabin/Courthouse Steps quilt
Red, yellow, blue, and floral strip quilt.
Face jug of tan stoneware covered with a mottled brown glaze with mustard yellow drips, the two ears protrude from the sides, with large white eyes and a long nose, the open mouth is below a dark, curved moustache and reveals three large white porcelain teeth, with a handle in back.
A press-molded circular pitcher with gradated medium brown glaze, a broad spout, and tall neck decorated in relief with a hop bine motif. A scalloped border encircles the vessel where the shoulder meets the body. The handle is in the form of a greyhound, which appears to be climbing into the jug. The body is decorated in relief with hunting scenes: hounds attacking a stag on one side and mastiffs attacking a boar on the other.
