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.

Star block variation quilt.
Goblet with large, conical bowl, slim stem, and a basic base. The bowl is translucent pink with vertical ridges. Along the ridges is a succession of dark purple, almost black, dots. The color of the goblet changes from a pink bowl to a green stem. The dots continue onto the stem, but become much more elongated in shape, blue in color, and have a spiral movement.
