About Denby Pottery
Written by the company


All About Denby
When you buy Denby, you're choosing items with purpose and soul: hand-crafted, considered and made-to-last pieces that are truly a conscious choice. We’re still on the same site in Derbyshire where the pottery was founded in 1809 and our rich heritage is built on the generations of craftspeople making pottery here. Nestled next door to the seam of clay which our founder discovered, many traditional hand-crafting techniques are still used in our factory today. Everything we design and craft has versatility, beauty and durability, and is truly styled by life.
Versatile
One set can be everyday and special occasions, and every piece can be used in the oven, freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Our ranges are super versatile and multi-functional so a smaller number of pieces are needed - cook, serve and store in the same piece. Mugs double as plant pots, bowls as candle or trinket holders and jugs as vases.
Beautiful
Our stunning glazes and shapes make Denby a lovely thing to have in your home, share when you’re entertaining and also to buy as a thoughtful and sustainable gift. Our ceramics and homewares are not just for the kitchen - enjoy them around the home to add style as well as function to any room.
Durable
Denby’s durability is legendary, an attribute which becomes increasingly important as we look to reduce our disposable purchases. Our stoneware ranges come with a 10 year guarantee, and as our stoneware is super-strong, you can use it confidently and for occasions when you might otherwise use a disposable plate or cup.

Denby quality is a very high bar that few if any can match.
I will miss you Denby.
I've got a vast collection of Denby tableware for 35 years. They have all stayed in pristine condition since day one. I'm truly heartbroken to hear that Denby is no more 😪😪despite signing the petition to save Denby 😢... I've had an amazing experience with the team at Denby whenever I've had any questions, they've been very kind, friendly, helpful and reassuring. Upon hearing these sad news, I've placed several orders so that I've got extra pieces as spares. It's such an awful shame that the government couldn't step up to save Denby with it being a British manufacturer 😢😢😢I will miss you Denby 😢
I collected Denby ware for 60 years.
I have collected Denby ware for 60 years, my first purchase was Arabesque, when I was 17. They are still in daily use.
I have continued to collect the Arabesque, which we use every day, ever since, as well as adding more modern ranges and cooking pots. It’s beautiful, durable, and strong, hence its age!
I’m so sorry that the company is no longer viable.
Thank you to all those who have given me and my family such lovely crockery.

I have had and used Denby for over 45 years, still using to this day.
The service I have received has been spot on.
The quality of my dinner service speaks for itself..added to over the years.
I have recently bought another set in the vain attempt to try and help support and prevent this closure..
. I really can’t believe we are losing another British manufacturer with again no Government support ( to my knowledge)
To prevent this…
My thoughts are with all Management and Staff at this heartbreaking time.
I have signed and shared the current petition

Been a Denby customer for over 30 years. Hard to believe that no investors can be found to #saveDenby. Over 2 centuries of British heritage.
Four weeks since my order
Four weeks since my order and not yet despatched. My enquiry email resulted in a pre-written response saying they may take a week to reply.
