- Floral Urn Quilt by Susan McCord, circa 1860 - Susan McCord was an ordinary Indiana farmwife with an extraordinary genius for quilt making. Her Floral Urn quilt is reminiscent of album quilts made of large appliqué floral or wreath blocks. Large floral motifs were popular in the mid-19th century -- but McCord's version is exceptionally imaginative. McCord's love of gardening inspired the fuchsia, tulips, and daisies which spill whimsically from the urns.

- Everlast "Solid Brass" Coffee Urn Set, 1958-1961 - In 1932, Louis Schnitzer and Nathan Gelfman formed Everlast Metal Products Corporation, producing high-quality, hand-forged aluminum giftware. In an era of growing uniformity via factory production, the "made by hand" aspect of these products held an aesthetic appeal for consumers. Over the years, the company introduced various product lines, including "Solid Brass" (seen here), "Solid Copper," and "Pewter."

- Tea Urn, 1800-1810 - Despite political tensions leading up to the War of 1812, English manufacturers continued to create export goods for the American market. This elegant piece, which was part of a larger set, was designed to satisfy an American taste for classical motifs. To early nineteenth-century Americans, its "classic" shape symbolized the rebirth of democracy and representative government in the young republic.
