The artists who worked with Iron Mountain Stoneware created interesting, one-of-a-kind pieces as well as custom work for customers and pieces to sell through their outlet store in Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee. Here is an example of a hot plate or trivet with a custom painted image from a historic building in Pennsylvania. Nancy remembers painting some trivets for a customer who sent her some images of stone houses or buildings in the area there. The trivet had a simple IMS potter's mark on the back written with a pencil and a paper, stick-on price tag (imprinted with the words Iron Mountain Stoneware) for $15.00.
Collect tea trivets. The ceramic tiles used to make modern tea trivets allow manufacturers to create a style to fit any person's taste. At an average width of 6 inches across, these provide a delicate surface for your teapot.
