Denby Pottery (Derbyshire)

They appear to be of the same family....

Yes. I'm afraid I've not looked it up. Just assumed it was their 1930s domestic ware.

They are from the late 1930s and look as if they might be from the Farmstead range.

All correct SP. this and "Gretna" (the green version) are pretty well attributed to
Alice Teichtner.

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this large stoneware vase. Marked with a single impressed "W" on the base. Looks to have a bit of age to it, may not be British but it is a superb piece, good quality.

Almost certainly Denby. Most pre-war vases have a thrower's/turner's mark of an
impressed capital letter. Pretty certain I've seen this glaze before. Just one of many
oddball pieces that turn up.

Thanks denby   , would never have guessed at Denby. I'll have a look.

You won't find it in any books Roy, but thinking back years, I know I've had one before,
it will be 1920s/30s.

A mad little toadstool lampbase picked up today. Probably 1950s, and almost
certainly by Glyn College. Never seen another, maybe a one-off. Just the sort
of oddball Denby that turns up round here!

very Scandinavian in decor

This is my favorite tableware pattern,do you know who designed Westbury?

Westbury was designed by Glyn College and Gill Pemberton in 1973.

   Thanks

Well Dan, all british post-war designers borrowed heavily from Scanadanavia,
Denby being no exception

Definitely Denby. A posy holder. One of those giftware ranges from the 50s,
of which there are several, which are so far un-named.

Guessing Glyn Ware and Glyn Colledge

Hi
I was attracted to this as I thought it was Denby/ Glyn Colledge but now think it may be a ' lookylikey'  

The only backstamp is Made in England. Am I right in assuming Denby marked everything? The brushwork and colouring are so like the Glyn Colledge ranges. 9.5 inches across.    Maybe one of you Denby aficionados could shed some light ??


     

Thanks as always

My 2 "Cheviot" ware vases 17" high,
Designed by Glyn College, mid-1950s

CH506 - White.
(1950s price was £3 15/- each.)

CH502 - Green with white decoration.
(1950s price was £4 10/- each.)

The green one is not marked, as there are some
glaze flaws, so was probably graded as a second.

Denby "Tapestry" vase, influenced by furnishing fabrics
of the 1950s, designed by Glyn College.

Denby "Tube-lined ware" 1920s. Rarely marked, bases
are glazed over, unlike most Denby.
Sometimes seen for sale as Moorcroft, even though the body
(and weight) is obviously stoneware!

DENBY ANIMALS - SIZES AND GLAZE COLOURS.

I compiled this list years ago, using the info in the Denby books, and measuring
actual examples in various collections. It's not entirely complete as eg. there
was no complete set of geese to examine, and other examples have probably
been discovered since, but here it is anyway.

A wonderful piece of information, DD, that must have taken you many hours to compile. Thank you for sharing it.

I agree, really useful info' thanks for sharing : )

Obviously made by Denby but what does the GVLR stand for? My best guess would be Golden Valley Light Railway in Derbyshire? Sorry about the pictures they were taken on phone some time ago.

It is George IV, found on both Denby and Langley wares.
It was used during wartime on utilty wares supplied to
military and government departments.

Bourne Denby pepper and mustard pot in (correct me if I'm wrong) the  Cloisonn pattern, representing amoeba or bacteria, designed by Glyn Colledge in 1956 and issued from 1957.

Yes Cloisonne, should be 3 pieces on a boomerang base, look out for the other bits.
