A beige and brown finely checked wool knit skirt suit. The jacket reaches below the waist to the top of the thighs and has a long paneled collar that appears to sit loosely. It is worn open over a pale salmon pink shirt which has a ribbon belt tied in a bow on our left side. The fluted, columnar skirt falls below the knees. The suit is worn by a white, faceless mannequin, whose right hand is placed on the hip to allow the jacket to be open revealing the shirt underneath.

Brush made of flat polished silver.The design of the dragon, which takes up most of the brush's front area, is achieved by using two common techniques for enhancing metal: repousse, wherein the design is hammered from the rear, thereby allowing it to raise above the surface of the silver; and chasing, wherein the artist hammers on the front to provide additional nuance to the piece. There is an oval plaque in the middle of the front. The rear of the brush is where the bristles are.

The plate itself is mostly pink with a white star-like pattern in the middle and intricate guilded, embossed decoration. Only about three-quarters of the plate is showing, while the bottom of it is unfinished, with exposed pencil marks on the pink background and tapered-off gold exposing the cream sheet underneath. The salmon pink coloring runs along the edges of the plate and in a small circle in the center, with the white star pattern in the center displaying five points in view, with additional out of frame, all connected by a decorated arc. The intricate gold patterns on the plate run along the edges in repeated geometric shapes: squares with ladder-like lines in the center sandwiched between two rows of small dots, one right after another. As you move inward, solid triangles touch and repeat themselves in between each point of the star. The points fan to the edge of the plate in tulip-shaped forms, four stacking on top of the other with small dots and framing curls. In between each point are smaller stars with the triangle motif, small dots, and six white dots surrounding one single gold dot. The curved arcs connecting the points are decorated with small, delicate leaves repeating one after the other. In the center of the plate is an intricate circle mandala, comprised of a compass-like petal center, surrounded by two rows of tiny gold dots, with curving decorations similar to fiddleheads, also paired with tiny gold dots. To the left of the plate is a column of blue printed numbers in a bold serif font and one penciled. Above the plate is the similarly printed number (587) with a sans-serif, purple (A) above that, surrounded by penciled sketches of other tableware with assigned numbers and kanji characters: a teacup and saucer, sugarbowl with milk pitcher, a bowl with lid, a teapot, a large scalloped tray, two more sugar bowls and a raised bowl.

The plate itself only has two colors: a cream background with gold decoration, which is embossed, or painted with raised elements. Along the border of the plate is a row of circles, and next to that a row of smaller circles. As we travel inward, the largest decoration space is devoted to an elaborate paisley pattern, with the negative space in between curved flowers and pointed leaves littered with even smaller dots. The paisley leaves spiral inward like fiddlehead plants and are surrounded by feather-like fanning, coming off the shared stem. There are six paisley leaves in total around the plate, all unique in pattern but creating a symmetrical composition overall. On the end of each leaf is either a grid like design, similar to a tic-tac-toe board tilted on its side, or crest-like motif: shaped like a tulip, it has an arc with small dots the tulip-shape sits on, leaves emerging from the arc, and a ray of small dots above the tulip. As we travel even more inward, there is a row of small dots on a solid guilded circle, and modest geometric pattern emerging from that. Small arcs with curved ends meet with and touch each other, with dots and three-pronged in between. In the center of the plate is an intricate circle mandala, comprised of a compass-like and petal-like center, surrounded by two rows of tiny gold dots, with curving decorations similar to fiddleheads, also paired with tiny gold dots. To the left of the plate is a column of blue printed numbers in a bold serif font with penciled checkmarks and a penciled number 4. Above the plate is the similarly printed number (470) with a sans-serif, purple (AA) above that, surrounded by penciled sketches of other tableware with assigned numbers and kanji characters: three teacups and saucers sets, two sets of sugarbowls and milk pitchers, a teapot, two additional vessels with open scallop edges and handles.

This four-sided brooch is shaped like a tall triangle with the top point trimmed off. The top left 'corner' is curved. The surface is smooth, inlaid with crackled pieces of white eggshell in varying sizes, creating a stone-like appearance. The spaces between the eggshell pieces and the fine cracks in the shells are colored dark red and black. These dark colors are split into two triangles, a dark red triangle on the left and a black triangle on the right. The dividing line runs between the top right and bottom left corners.

A free-blown favrile glass bowl vase whose iridescent glaze gives it a multidimensional colored effect of blue, purple and gold, with the blue-purple more apparent in the bottom half of the vessel. The shape is a somewhat depressed sphere with a heavy, rolled-over rim from a squarish opening with three visible thick ribs irregularly drawn down and diminishing to points at the base.
