Rachel's Garden 'Married' Piece?

'Married' cup and vase piece

During the first group gathering of the Iron Mountain Stoneware fans this past December, one member brought an unusual piece which Nancy verified as Rachel's Garden.  The piece was 'married' (joining two pieces together to make a separate and different shape) from two other shapes being used by the stoneware company--an upside down candleholder and a lamp bottom. The glazing is beautiful on this one and it is very unusual.  Nancy was the only artist who did the glazing of this pattern due to its intricate design.  However there is no IMS stamp on the bottom--only the initial LD which stood for Iron Mountain employee, Lila Dunn,  and the numbers 88. If you are curious about the separate shapes, check out the pricelist tab on the blog to see the silhouette of the lamp, #2000.
