The Imari-style pieces are likely ironstone or heavy earthenware, featuring hand-painted decoration in cobalt blue, iron red, and gold. The pattern incorporates stylized floral motifs, scrolling foliage, and diamond-shaped panels containing hand-painted script marks resembling a stylized 2 or S. The bucket-shaped vessel has a scalloped rim and a twisted metal swing handle. The two-piece fluted set is decorated with hand-painted wild strawberry vines, blossoms, and fruit in shades of red and green with gilded rims.
