Large quilt in a variation of the "Whig's Defeat" pattern, on a cream-colored cotton ground a grid of twelve squares each enclosed in a pattern of double bands of repeating nailhead, or dogtooth, motifs in red cotton, at each corner an eight-point star in alternating orange and red, in the center of each square a cream-colored diamond on light blue ground with half-circle notches at each corner highlighted by a band of like nailhead motifs also in red, the backing cream-colored cotton, edged in red.
Large, roughly square quilt made of cotton feed sacks assembled in a grid pattern of 9 rows, each colorful quilt block made in a different pattern and some blocks are of different sizes, the whole a conglomeration of geometric and floral motifs in soft and subdued colors.
A press-molded circular pitcher with matte green galze, with a broad spout and tall neck decorated in relief with a grapevine motif. 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.
Small columnar, slightly tapered chunky paperweight of clear glass with morning glory flowers and daisies along with other foliage, including plant roots, and a honey bee suspended in the middle.
