Cast-iron necklace comprised of a mesh chain with three small oval medallions set in gold, the clasp a larger oval medallion set in gold, all with antique reliefs.
Beer tap handle of white jasper with light blue jasper dip, of bulbous shape, the end of the handle decorated with acanthus leaves, then below a white band on one side a floral garland supported by two paterae and on the other the figure of Apollo standing between a tree stump and a tree with his lyre.
The dish is a flat, open and almost bowl-like shape. The dish's exterior is beige stoneware decorated with dark brown flecks that decrease in number at the top of the base. There are some faint impressed lines along the dish's body. The interior is a light brown with dark brown flecks. The impressed lines on the form are also visible in the interior. As the interior moves toward the center of the bowl, the dark flecks begin to create lines that circle the interior form.
