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.

Absolutely 5 stars
Absolutely 5 stars. 5 star products and 5 star customer service. As a clumsy person who regularly broke plates, cups etc I decided when looking for new plates that as I was paying £1 a plate and buying new because even miss matched I didn't have enough for guests I may as well pay £2 each for the on sale set of 4 side plates, my friends more excited to see what plates I had than what food they were getting were informed if these lasted more than 3 weeks I would buy a whole dinner service that was in 2013 and I still have those plates and a dinner service and pasta bowls. My latest purchase is 4 rice bowls and a mug for my hot chocolate that I purchased 3 days before I heard that they had gone into liquidation I had quite a few emails saying they would fulfill the order but didn't know if I would receive the order and they arrived today and I am very pleased with them. I hope they continue as their products are super strong and not something you continually need to replace.

Great product
Great product.
We were only given 1 hours notice of delivery. Luckily we were able to change this for a time when we were home. The outer box arrived badly damaged but luckily the bowls were not damaged as they had been well packaged inside bubble wrap.
