Denby Pottery (Derbyshire)

No I have had them before. I have seen them for sale as Tigo ware, which they
could be, as some items were done in stoneware, but not on my Tigo pattern sheets.
May just be an oddball accessory/giftware item.

Oh that's a shame. Cheers Jerry.

Hi
Does anyone know this mark?
I look everywhere but no luck.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

This is a Denby Majolica tobacco jar, c1920s.

Langley Mill also made jars with the same Crown mark, but has never
been positively id'd, but one assumes it must have been for some
government department or other.

Thought you might like to see this gorgeous and unusual Denby coffee pot. Part of the pattern is sort of tube lined. I believe it to be from the 1920s. Lovely colours , shape and what a handle.

I see these are called majolica a lot, but I don't see the white underglaze?

With the high spout, I think it's a chocolate pot. People seem to call them anything but a teapot, though.

Well no, it is not "Majolica" in the traditional sense, but that is what Denby decided
to call that particular range of art-pottery.

You can see my examples here:

Thank you janetpjohn. Even as I wrote "coffee" pot I thought that may be wrong as people didn't drink coffee here that much in that era. Chocolate, yes. It has a strainer in the spout too.

This is picture of base as best as I can get it. There is a similar jug, same design but without a lid in the Denby Museum.

The shape is earlier, and is technically a "Tankard Coffee Jug".

Yes, the decoration is lovely - green, blue and white with some tube lining, including in stripes across the handle. Thank you for that interesting information on the shape.

There are "Coffee pots" and "Cocoa jugs", all from the same period, but the shapes are slightly different.

Very unusual decoration, maybe a special order for someone.

Cheers denby...isnt Denby normally marked

Not always on small items like that.

A generic Denby Peace mug 1919. Probably made in large quantities.
They came with the addition of a printed place name, many for the towns,
villages and hamlets in the area, which are more sought after, as for some,
only small quantities would have been made.

Interesting, thanks.

This is an Alice Teichtner Tyrolean ware bowl, shape AT 11, designed 1937.
The other mark will be a retailer/wholesaler mark, of which there are many, but most are unidentified.

A "Glynbourne" 12 1/2 inch 867 vase by Glyn Colledge, 1960.



The marks can be any combination of:
No marks at all, probably seconds.
Denby factory mark.
Black facsimile signature.
Incised signature, as here, generally attributed to Glyn himself.

DD does that signature improve the value?

Unmarked lampbase which I’m pretty sure is Denby but is the decoration one of Glyn Colledge‘s designs?

I haven't seen anything exactly like this before but, as far as I am concerned, I would be surprised if it wasn't from the Glyn Ware range at Denby that went into production around 1950.

There are people on here that know more about Denby and associated factories than I do and so I would bow to their opinion, if it differs to mine.

Yes Denby, from the Glynware period, but not necessarily part of the "range".
It looks a bit "flowery" for Glyn. They made lampbases in large quantities from
the 1930s onwards, often just one-off oddball designs,
