====== Denby ====== **Denby Pottery** has been hand-crafting stoneware in Derbyshire, England, since 1809. Using locally sourced "Derbyshire Clay," Denby has built a reputation for producing some of the most durable and versatile tableware in the world. ===== 1. Made in England ===== Every piece of Denby passes through at least 20 pairs of hands before it is finished. Their stoneware is fired at over 1200°C, making it vitrified and exceptionally strong—often described as "tough enough for everyday use, beautiful enough for best." ===== 2. The Glazing Secret ===== Denby is famous for its unique secret glaze recipes. Their "Halo" and "Imperial Blue" collections are modern classics, featuring rich, reactive glazes that create stunning tonal variations on every piece. --- **See Also:** * [[:en:materials:stoneware|The Durability of Stoneware]] * [[:en:items:plates|Denby Dinner Plate Sizes]] {{tag>brands uk stoneware heritage handmade}}
