Vase (2003.37.22)

A ceramic vase, glazed over to look like wood and decorated with cream paint with ancient scenes. On the underside of the lip is a design with two parallel sets of lines with a leaf-like pattern in between. It almost goes completely around the vase, but the area right above the handles of the pattern is not connected. The neck of the vase is empty of design except the bottom half inch. That design has the same two sets of parallel lines, the design in the center looks like three flowers on their side and the stem wrapping above it. Similar to the design on the lip it is on both sides of the vase but does not connect to the handle. The handles themselves have two spots to put a hand in, one by the lip and another small one at the shoulder. There is an inch-and-a-quarter piece of ceramic that separates them. On that piece is a geometric design of a pattern of eleven dots, each connected by a line; this is on both sides of the piece. The outer part of the handle also has a pattern that is Greek keyish. On one side of the stomach of the vase is a fight scene. Both men are in armor, and the same skirt to it, but the chest piece seems to be opposite to one another. Both are in helmets although they are not the same: one Spartan-like (right) and the other Corinthian (left). They have the same footwear as well as both holding spears. Another difference will be on the shield, same size but the one on the left has a criss-cross pattern on the edge while the one on the right has a wavy pattern. Under the two is another set of parallel lines., in between which are vertical lines that are in alternating pattern of not touching the top or bottom lines. On the other side of the stomach is another floral pattern, the same as on the bottom of the neck, where two flowers are shown on their side and have connecting stems. On the base of the vase, there is the exact same pattern as on the lip. On the very bottom is written "Hand Made in Greece No. 25."

Runner, Table (2004.8.1)

Rectangular table runner with lace edging, longer lace triangle at each side of the length. The lace trim is edged in pink as well as the string holding the lace to the actual runner. On the lace edging, on both ends of the runner, the lace is decorated with a large butterfly. Next to the pink stitches holding the lace to the runner, there are very small cut-out holes running along the long end of the runner, about an inch and a half from the length side it turns in, slightly scalloped inward. Running next to those small cut outs is a dark red stitching. About ten inches from each corner the red stitching turns upward into a wavy pattern then straightens back out. Sitting on the inside of the red line are blue and green sunburst/floral stitches. Mirrored on each side of the runner is an image of pink, peach, and blue flowers in a basket. The basket itself is lined in blue, and the base of the basket has panels of green perpendicular lines. The top portion is done in red, also with perpendicular lines. The handle of the basket is simply two parallel curved blue lines. There is a fair amount of yellow staining on one of the corners of the runner, spotted stains.

Tablecloth (2004.8.13)

White, linen square tablecloth. The trim is edged in a crotch pattern that is made to look like flowers: circular center with straight lines coming from it, which are connected to a thick/solid circular section that connects to the "petals" In the very center of the tablecloth is another crochet strip that is seen through and made by multiple small squares, some are solid squares to make a chevron line. The rest of the cloth is solid white minus each corner that is decorated with a multicolor embroidered flower. The center is created by three thin lines that make a circle and have the color pattern of yellow-green-yellow. The very center has a blue five-petaled flower and in between the thin lines is a dotted red line. Coming off of the outermost circle of the center are eight perpendicular yellow dotted lines (only one is actually touching, the others about half an inch away) Next to these lines are eight V-shaped green sections with yellow lines in between. The petal portion is done in red and is created by a scallop wave. Two yellow stems are coming off of the flosser with green outlined leaves with a blue center. At the very corner of the cloth, right under the flower is a three-leafed yellow stem; the leaves are green with a red center. The back side is plain other than the underside of the embroidery.

Pillowcase (2004.8.6)

Small white, handmade, pillowcase. The front side of the pillowcase has a floral cutwork design. The very center is a single flower that has a stem coming off of each side. The top and bottom stem is topped with a flower with a separate flower at their sides. On the side stems there is an array of multiple stems with leaves and a flower at the very top. Moving about half an inch from the middle pattern is another flower, in the middle of each of the four sides, and between each are multiple half-circle shaped, scattered in the middle. In the top corners of the pillow is yet another floral image, this being a flower on its own with three stems, all connected to a circle. The border is multiple cut-out circles. This decorative panel is the top flap to the pillowcase and there is an opening on the side to slide in the pillow. The back side is completely blank.

Pillowcase (2004.8.8.A)

Ivory pillowcase. Solid ivory minus about three inches from the opening there is an embroidered floral design. The embroidered designs are also ivory in color, so it looks like the pattern is rising from the background. The center of the design is a flower that appears to be sitting on a table. Flanking it are flowers, laying sideways with a steam coming from it. At the opening, there are two button closure holes and buttons on the inner flap.

Bib (2005.5.3)

White exquisite embroidered decorative bib floral pattern. The bib is transparent with small flowers with embroidery and cutwork along the edges. Each bunch has three flowers on one stem, with four petals each and a hole in the middle. There are two small embroidered leaves at the bottom, with two bigger leaves above them that have cutwork in the middle and threads crisscrossing to form a lattice pattern. The two topmost flower bunches only have two smaller leaves, without the cutwork leaves. The bib has a scalloped edge with white thread. The top ties in two ribbons.
