Cupboards, dowry chests and boxes were fitted with beautiful metal bindings and painted with birds, flowers, or plants in vases. Most Lithuanian women knew how to spin and weave from girlhood. They created white linen towels, tablecloths, bedspreads, bedclothes and pillow covers woven with simple geometric broken bands and square patterns. Beautifully woven towels were hung upon towel racks in living rooms, given as gifts during weddings and used during funerals. Colored fabrics featured rich yellows, greens, reds, violets and blues accented by black threads.
Bedspreads demonstrate great variety in terms of color combinations and ornamentation.
They were woven with horizontal and vertical stripes, and plaids using rep, pick-up, overlay and other techniques. Knitted stockings, mittens and gloves were decorated with variously proportioned geometric patterns. Lithuanian ceramics were characterized by practical forms and moderate decoration. Black clay and colored pottery was common throughout Lithuania. Their forms, though generally geometric in nature, were quite varied.
