A collection of various decorative items featuring a maroon-glazed ceramic whiskey decanter by Heritage China, produced to commemorate the 1976 American Bicentennial. The decanter is modelled in the form of a Masonic fez and bears a paper label for Ezra Brooks 101 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. It is decorated with a Spirit of 76 illustration and the initials A.A.O.N.M.S. for the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The blue base is inscribed 1776 * U.S.A. BICENTENNIAL * 1976. Included is a large reddish-brown earthenware jar with carved foliate and horizontal wave decoration. The group also comprises a set of dark brown stoneware pottery with a matte, semi-metallic glaze and horizontal throwing lines, consisting of a lidded jug, a creamer, several mugs, and a cup and saucer. The collection is completed by a tall pewter tankard with a scroll handle and thumbpiece, and a ceramic beer stein with blue decorative bands and a metal lid.
