Large, semi-square block of clear polished glass with rectangular sections of blue and red glass along two edges opposite a jagged corner, which serves as the base of the piece.
Large, rectangular yo-yo quilt or coverlet made from round pieces of cotton-polyester blend fabrics in a wide variety of patterns and colors, including gingham, houndstooth, stripes, plaids, floral and geometric prints, polka dots, and plain colors, that have long stitches along their turned-under outer edges, which are pulled to form small rosettes or discs, each hand sewn side by side with red thread into rows to form the quilt, no batting and no backing.
Vase of partially-glazed red stoneware with round foot and short stem, the body bulbous that narrows at the neck and has a flared rim (it perhaps once had a cover), the main body covered with layers of irregular, drippy beige glaze, the stem decorated with small, round, applied dots of red clay, on either side the body of a chicken emerges from the vase - the neck and head and part of the feathered wings, both in unglazed red stoneware.
Quilt with red Ts and green stripping.
