Something New, Every Year

Everyday bowl from 1978

Nancy Patterson Lamb, former owner and creator of many of the patterns for Iron Mountain Stoneware created a new pattern each year for something which was called an Everyday Set.  This everyday set was limited in pieces and only included a plate (10"), a bowl, and a mug--just the three pieces with a different design every year.  The pattern was made for only one year and then a different pattern was brought forth each subsequent years. Each was different, yet of the two I've seen, they make lovely combinations when put together. The pieces of the stoneware had a design and a date on them to help identify them from one year to the next.
