Chalk, granite and quartz: what ceramics from the English brand Denby look like

Chalk, granite and quartz: what ceramics from the English brand Denby look like

The history of the Denby company began in 1806 in the English county of Derbyshire. Having discovered a layer of highly durable clay in the village of Denby, William Bourne decided to create a family business producing ceramics. Together with his son Joseph, they began producing kitchen items that the English loved.

Today Denby focuses on multifunctionality. The same decorative item can be useful in different situations: a cutlery set – for serving, preparing and storing dishes, and mugs and jugs – as a vase, candlestick or flower pot.

Denby tableware is suitable for both everyday and festive table setting. Collections can be found in Williams Oliver chain stores. What you should pay attention to:

  • HALO and HALO SPECKLE collections, which are created using proprietary glazing techniques that allow for the creation of unusual effects on the ceramic surface;
  • KILN line – tableware in soft and warm colours, inspired by the grey-beige colour of oatmeal and white chalk;
  • The STUDIO GREY collection is a series of tableware with a speckled pattern, inspired by minerals and rocks such as coal, granite and shimmering quartz.

About author

I pass by being that person liable to duty, but who cannot resist the flights of imagination. I have always loved the legends, the myths and the stories of the old and distant times with my whole being. In high school I fell in love with the history of art and I made it the object of my university studies. Once I graduated, I dusted off an old flame: that of children's literature. I rediscovered the beauty and importance of illustrated books and books, where, to a quality text, images are added that give strength and enrich what is narrated with meaning. It can be said that illustrators often make real works of art! It was then that I decided to follow this passion of mine both as a volunteer, entering the ranks of readers born to read, and in my work as a librarian. I am a greedy devoured of illustrated books (I have an absolute weakness for the stories that have bears or wolves as protagonists!), I love simple stories that know how to strike and surprise. I hate pigeon-holed books in a specific age group and readers in a certain category of readings. I think everyone is different and deserves to choose (and be chosen by the books) without constraints, in complete freedom! [email protected]
