This sampler's subject is a vase with flowers and the maker's name in cross-stitching at the bottom: Elizabeth Ann Eberlein's Work Done in 1830. The frame is an American canted pine picture frame with a fruitwood finish. The sewing work is silk thread on tiffany cloth. The footed vase has various flowers - two cabbage roses, two carnations, four rose buds, foliage and intertwined thorn-covered stems. The blossoms and foliage appear in a variety of shades of greens and light browns while the vase stands on an oblong patch of ground represented by brown satin stitches.
