Denby Pottery (Derbyshire)

I think the rest are one of Gill Pemberton's designs from around 1976. I have found one called Russet, which has a cream speckled ground and wide concenrtic rings in chocolate brown. Clearly not the same colour but the coffee pot and cups and saucers of this look the same shape as yours. The free floating spout on the coffee pot is unusual for Denby.

I just got this cute little Denby sugar bowl... could anyone provide info on the line and approximate age? Thank you.

The knob on the lid is the wrong shape for Imperial Blue and it is from the Cottage Blue range that was introduced in 1926.

It was in production for many years and was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s and was finally discontinued in 1983. Your mark does suggest that your piece could be from the 1930s but it may be later.

I say "piece" because it is not a sugar bowl but a "Petite Marmite" or small lidded soup bowl.

Any suggestions please on this nicely decorated jug. Marked with printed Made in England and painted initials. Thanks for any thoughts

A friend asked if I could help them with this bowl? Perhaps a north London studio from approx 1953? Big - Approx 300mm x 100mm

MADE IN ENGLAND and an painted mark to the base.

Many Thanks - Alex

Any thoughts please on possible designer fir this Bourne Denby pin tray. I believe mark dates to 1960s. All thoughts appreciated John

Looks very similar to Denby's "Burlington" range, designed by Albert and Glynn Colledge c.1956.

Just bought today - I think this is Denby, not marked that way just 'Made in England' but has Glyn Colledge signature - lovely jug with beautiful striated decoration with overlay of leafes and foliage - banding to top and handle moulded with foliage - anyone able to confirm?

Thanks Adam

yeah the signature is right

and signed pieces like this often didn't have the Denby mark.

beautiful hand painted bowl, letter T and there is company mark as well that says J & F and the rest of it i can't make out....some makers mark or company mark underneath as well... that i can make out.. any clue will be appreciated... this isn't studio pottery is it?

I'm sure it is the Denby stamp and the decoration look to me like it may be by Glyn Colledge. (not sure of the latter, as it does not have his usual signature).

I have this giant jug with the same pattern so I think your dish is by Glynn Colledge.

Can anyone help with identifying this signed large dish or bowl I recently picked up. The base is also stamped in black England with letters above. First two are MA, I am guessing this is a Made in England stamp.

I suspect that he didn't sign most of the work himself but it is from the Glyn Ware range that Mr. Colledge designed for Denby Pottery in the early 1950s.

I spoke to someone who worked on Glyn Ware,she claimed Glyn signed every piece

Then I stand corrected but I suppose if you had to sign every piece it would vary over time.

Well that's good news, a nice Glyn Colledge bowl. Many thanks to everyone who replied.

Glyn meets Shoji

The large vase below is from the "Glyndebourne" range that was created by Glyn Colledge between 1948 and 1950. Contemporary reports suggest that during this period the Denby factory was a giant studio pottery, centred around the work of Colledge. The shapes were hand thrown and the horizontally ribbed surface was intentional. The hand painted decoration, although in pastel colours, is most certainly in the Chinese/Japanese style.

In the book, Denby Pottery 1809-1997 by Irene and Gordon Hopwood, it states, "these pieces are amongst the most rare ever created by Glyn Colledge and confirm his status as a true studio potter."



Note: These were not signed just having Bourne Denby Derby in a circle and Made in England underneath the circle.

Any ideas about this vase?
Thanks.

Glyn Colledge

There is, as always, better information by far on the 20th Century Forum than you'll find elsewhere.

Graham & Ann's site is OK but all you really need is........
