Jacob's ladder quilt in red, green, and purple.
Rectangular quilt in the "Sunbonnet Sue" pattern, with navy blue polka-dotted background fabric with light yellow border, upon which a series of Sunbonnet Sues in a variety of cotton calico, some in silhouette against the background, others against a light pink floral piece of fabric, each Sue embroidered with the name of a woman or man, with central inscription: 178 GIRLS/NO TWO/JUST ALIKE/EXCEPT THE/TWINS FIND/THEM. The back of yellow cotton with orange floral pattern and same light yellow border.
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.
