| Evergreen votive candleholders - 4" |
Evergreen is seen as a mostly solid, rich green color with the inside of pieces, like these candleholders, being glazed in white. I have categorized this pattern as one of the 'solids' and will add information to that tab to show some of the different solid colors made by Iron Mountain Stoneware between the years they were in operation. These shapes have been called everything from wine glasses (in some antique listings) to votive candle holders to pillar candleholders. While I have seen very few of these pieces, they blend very nicely with the pattern called Whispering Pines as the greens are very close to the same color.
This was also a great compliment to Over the Hills Under the Sun. I have a very large collection of Over the Hills, and mixed in Evergreen dinner, luncheon, cups and saucers, some serving pieces in Evergreen.
ReplyDeleteI first saw these two patterns in the late 70's at Gumps in San Francisco. Been searching in vain for the deep Evergreen ever since.
This stoneware has held up beautifully for 3 decades plus...It is a collector's dream to own and use.
