Vase with a waisted form that flares out and then tapers to the base. The exterior is decorated with plain bands circling the form and a central band made up of horizontal, jagged grooves that decrease in size as they move down the vase. The lip of the vase declines inward toward the center of the vase. The vase's interior is glazed gray-blue with a slight green cast to it. The glaze does not extend completely to the bottom of the vase's interior where there are some lumps and areas with no final color glaze. The vase is heavy.
Cast-iron cross pendant, each arm pierced and with scrolling foliage motifs, in the center a small medallion with a rosette.
The bracelet consists of a narrow band above and a swan with outstretched wings below, from which hangs a hook that at one time supported a mount for a ball of yarn (now missing).
