- Cup Plate, 1825-1860 - Americans in the early 19th century poured hot tea into their saucers to cool -- leaving the staining liquid around the teacup's base. Hostesses would provide guests with cup plates to prevent damage to tablecloths and wood. Pressed glass cup plates were popular from the 1820s to the 1860s. Pressed designs varied from purely decorative to images of famous men, places and events.

- Pine Tree Quilt by Susan McCord, circa 1900 - Susan McCord pieced this Pine Tree pattern quilt top, but never finished it. Her descendants later had it quilted so that this bedcovering could be used. It is one of McCord's later quilts, and includes many turn-of-the-twentieth century fabric scraps. A close look reveals some fabrics seen in other McCord quilts. Purple calico sashing sets off the scrappy pine trees nicely.
