Denby Pottery (Derbyshire)

Thanks DD for the info.
I didn't realise 'Arabesque' had so many different variations depending on it's stage of development throughout it's almost 20 years production.
I found some great additional info here: http://www.retropottery.net/2010/05/denby-pottery-part-2-arabesque-gill.html
As for the 'decorative' version, I think I was being slightly optimistic in finding a plate...there seems to be a lot less in circulation and all I can find are very small pin dishes. I think I'll display what I have, just need to find some way to bring the worn surface back to a sheen!

Could anyone help with pattern name of this denby breakfast set please

thank you

This "Fire" stripes, I think maybe still in production now.

I see you're logged on DenbyDump  so one for you!!  I won't even bother to leave the page as I'm sure your response will arrive before I've even posted the question!!

I know the mark is for the 80s but would like to know the pattern if possible. Thanks

As dd's gone I jump in with.......................... I think it might be Fresco that was introduced 1983/4.

DENBY VILLAGE.1979. Only 4 of the proposed 6 original buildings were ever put into
production. I think they were released sequentially, so maybe interest ran out.
This thatched cottage is among the most common, the georgian house the rarest.

A couple of years ago, boxes of undecorated ones were found in the warerhouse,
and during a slow period of production, they were decorated and fired. The glaze
colours are slightly different, they had no felt base, as this one does, a later
rectangular mark, and were sold off in the factory shop.

A miniature version of the "Tibet Ware" jug. Only 6 inches tall.

Hi,
I have recently bought a Denby Minaret dish in Blue with the initials RW on the bottom. (I only know it's minaret as i trawled hundreds of images on google till I found a match) and know nothing else about it. Any info re age, decorator, value etc would be fab. Got it cos I loved the chunky feel of it and it was cheap but don't know what it's use was as it has notches out of the rim...some form of strainer? spoon rest??
TIA
:)

Welcome to the Forum.

If it is Minaret then the range was designed by David Yorath and introduced in the early 1970s. However, we do need to see an image of the dish and the mark(s) to confirm.

The piece you have will actually be a large ash-tray, shape 800.
The Decorators initials RW, are unidentified at the moment.

they are just pics I have on my mobile... I can't understand why I can't get them on..? I have sent them to the computer and tried to upload them from there but it says not allowed. Might have to try again.

This mug has the back stamp for c1975 - 1985 but haven't been able to find a similar shape or the pattern name ( looks vaguely similar to Flame).
Any help gratefully received

The shape was designed by Kenneth Clark in 1956 for the Gourmet range, and later
used for Studio/Shamrock/Ode/Echo into the early 60s.
The glaze is just an oddball/trial.

Small bowl or candleholder with large sloping rim.
A 'catch and release'.

A giftware range called "Hazelwood" designed by Glyn College, mid 1950s.

My mum asked if I wanted these yesterday, she found them in a box of my Grandmother's things.....er yes! and where's this box!
Denby Burlington I think, about 12cm across. A beautiful range in my opinion.

Nice hand painted plate by Albert Colledge...

This actually a tableware range called "Flair".
You don't see much around, so maybe a short production.

Thanks denby(shouldnt you be asleep)

Ha probably Brin.
Flair weas designed in 1947 by Albert, and developed by Glyn.
It was for export only, probably why it's quite rare in the UK.

Cheers,,as you can tell i sleep badly...and its going on ebay

Just unearthed this large hand thrown stoneware vase which I've owned for years and have always thought it could be a Denby trial. Measures around 9.5" tall and weighs over 2 kilos. Glaze colours are similar to those seen in the 1970s on decorative ranges such as Cascade and Minaret. No maker's mark to the base though the clay looks the right shade of buff to be Denby. Any thoughts?

Here's another unmarked piece, this time a lamp base, I suspect may be Denby. This looks like it dates to the 50s - Cheviot, Cloisonné era.

Hi Dave, Well the vase is an oddball, never seen the decoration before, and the
shape is strange, with no neck, but the base looks 100% Denby, unmarked trial.

The lamp base is a standard Denby shape, still used recently for tableware range
accessories. Usually unmarked, this one looks 1950s, And is probably a Glyn
Colledge design.

Hi again

I have this tankard that I am looking to identify a maker for , As I said it is a ceramic tankard , very colourful and is factory made with the ''made in England'' mark on the base , It also has a strange signature which I know I have seen before but cannot make out.

Any help would be great.

Regards
