Denby Celebrates 200 Years

Renowned for its quality and durability Denby’s products have evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of consumers.

In 2009 Denby celebrates 200 years of producing pottery in Derbyshire. Renowned for its quality and durability Denby’s products have evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of consumers. You would be forgiven for thinking Denby Pottery has always produced tableware, but in fact it has produced all manner of ceramic items from ink bottles, hot water bottles, fine artware pieces to the well known and loved tableware of today. Denby has a fascinating history, which is being celebrated by the launch of a brand new shaped tableware range and for this special year only; there are two limited editions in the form of a mini One Cup Teapot and a large One Pint Mug to celebrate in style!

A totally new tableware range both in terms of colour and shape welcomes in Denby’s bicentenary year. Designed in-house, as with all Denby ranges, Natural Pearl is subtle in tone with curvy shapes, and judging by initial reactions to the range is set to become Denby’s next generation of iconic style. Sophisticated enough for formal dining but bearing the practical qualities inherently Denby, ‘Natural Pearl’ will be just as suitable for more relaxed dining occasions.

There are 19 pieces in the range including extra large gourmet plates and bowls for impressive entertaining. An extra generous teapot providing 6 welcoming cups of tea for larger gatherings and for occasions when a normal teacup just isn’t big enough, the small mug also fits the tea saucer!

One Cup Teapot available for the Bicentenary year only are six Mini Teapots in ‘Pure Green’, ‘Imperial Blue’, ‘Linen’, ‘Truffle’, ‘Jet’, and ‘China by Denby’. The teapots are gift boxed in beautiful packaging with black silhouette images of popular Denby pieces over the years. Limited to a production run of 3,000, each teapot comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

One Pint Mug limited to production for this special year is a large One Pint Mug – excellent for that first welcoming drink of morning tea! Available in the Craftmans’ shape in ‘Imperial Blue’, ‘Regency Green’ and ‘Linen’.

Pricing SRP ‘Pure Green’ teacup £9.00, saucer £7.50, wide rimmed dinner plate £13.00. One Pint Mug £25.00. One Cup Teapots is £50.00. The ‘Pure Green’ range, One Cup Teapots and One Pint Mugs will carry the official bicentenary backstamp.

Looking for a very special dining service that a little different – then look no further, introducing Denby ‘James Martin’ Dine. Stylish, captivating and unique.  It breaks the mould of traditional white porcelain tableware using a striking yet simple design, bringing a ‘restaurant’ look to your table.

We say, although James may not be at your side helping to cook a dazzling dish for your guests, this range will present your food in style.
