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.

Great quality and timeless design

I was bought my first bit of Denby when I bought my own house 36 years ago aged 21, and from that Imperial Blue sugar bowl and butter dish (both of which I still have) we've gone on to the full dinner service, serving platters/bowls/glasses everything really. I can't imagine ever changing tbh. It really is timeless and such good quality, it still looks like new. This time round we've replaced some breakages, and bought a new set of cutlery, which is fab.

Excellent product and great customer service.

My orders have been delivered very well packed and in great condition. Denbyware is a part of our culture and heritage and they make great, practical and elegant products. I’ve just replaced my old Denby white dinner service with a new Imperial Blue service. It’s gorgeous - and practically to use, enjoy and clean. The customer service was also excellent and everyone communicates clearly and helpfully. Thank you Denby.

Superb dining set.

Superb dining set.
Initial shipping time was much shorter than the revised shipping time due to an increase in orders made this a little frustrating, hence 4 stars rather than 5. For all other aspects this is 5 stars.

Quality that’s clear to see

We ordered some additional plates and bowls to compliment our existing collection. They’re perfect. So well crafted, clear quality. Thank you Denby.

Please support this iconic brand

I already have all the Denby plates, side plates, bowls, mugs and wanted to support Denby a little more after reading about their campaign.

It took a while to get here (due to the success of the campaign) but I've a beautiful mug to drink from in the morning. My usual breakfast mug is old and chipped and this new one will last forever.

Thank you and please support Denby. 🙏

Placed an order on the 03/04/26 it is now the 20/04/26 and my order still hasnt been dispatched. I can understand some delays in a busy period but this is rediculous. Starting to lose hope that i will even recieve my order. Not happy at all.
