Special pieces could be commissioned from Iron Mountain Stoneware to celebrate any occasion, birthday, anniversary or simply to say "thank you" to someone. These pieces were in the glazes of the Martha's Flowers pieces or could be commissioned to be in any glazes of the customer's choosing. Sometimes the pieces contained the name and special date of the honored individual who would later receive the plate or other piece as a gift. The The designs varied from piece to piece and sometimes these special pieces ,were limited-edition orders commissioned by banks, colleges, and other organizations, which they then sold. Several of these can be found on both eBay and in local antique shops wherever the commissions ended up.
