Iron Mountain Stoneware Nancy Lamb Pottery Artist Signed MCM Modern Unique DecorDescription I just purchased this Iron Mountain Stoneware charger from a local estate here in Central Virginia. The Iron Mountain Stoneware line was designed and produced by Nancy Patterson Lamb from 1965 until 1992. Lamb was a guest artist at Royal Copenhagen and later Arabia / Finland where she also had a studio.
Extensive travels led her to Taiwan where she worked as a consultant leading to some of the first stoneware produced by the Chinese for export.
I
n 1954 I set out on a trip that took me around the world in seven years.
On a scholarship I first traveled to Denmark, where I spent two years as a guest artist at the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory. A year in Finland followed at the Arabia factory in Helsinki. I had an art studio there. Another scholarship permitted me to
travel and study throughout Europe, the middle east, India, and Southeast Asia. Seven months later I arrived in Taiwan, where I was offered a job developing dinnerware for export.
The ware was a unique product for it's time. Using native clays
I taught the Chinese to produce some of the first stoneware dinnerware
to come out on the market. In 1961 I returned to the US and with a native of Damascus, Virginia, Albert Mock, founded a factory in Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee, to manufacture hand crafted dinnerware, Iron Mountain Stoneware.
My work is signed with a FLAME over the initials, NP, for Nancy Patterson, my name when I began working with clay in the Los Angeles studio of Albert and Louisa King. That was in 1949, the year before I graduated from the Los Angeles Art Center College of Design. In over fifty years between then and now, flaming NP clay pieces have been
made not only in
the US,
but also in
Denmark, Finland, and
Taiwan.
