Two-handled, five-gallon jug with "Hiram Sandlin" inscribed on side
Tall glass goblet with a bowl of burgundy-colored glass and bands of speckled, textured light burgundy and white on the exterior, the bowl tapers to a bulbous-shaped element and then to a baluster-like stem of clear glass on a round foot also of clear glass, at the bottom of the bowl a small, clear glass dagger is inserted into it creating a dimple from which a burgundy glass, blood-like drip emerges from the point of entry.
