The name Denby is synonymous with good quality, hard-wearing British tableware.

It has to be admitted that there are a few fairly drab ranges, but in amongst the Pottery’s production there have been some outstanding designs.
Metal-handled tea pot in the Chevron pattern. Designed by Gill Pemberton in 1961
We love the work of Gill Pemberton, also Glyn Colledge, David Yorath and Thelma Hague. The output during the twenty year period spanning the mid 50s to the mid 70s was particularly strong.
Studio bowl by Glyn Colledge
At their best, the designs were original and exciting in terms of both decoration and shape.
Fruit bowl in the Arabesque pattern. Another hugely successful Gill Pemberton design
The hard to find Trees pattern
Other ranges to look out for are Rondo, Stone and Teak, Gypsy, Westbury, Bokhara and Kismet.
