Denby Pottery

Nice glazes to this 6.5 in 170 mm diameter bowl - came with the batch of Scandi Studio pots.

Incised initial D to underside. Any ideas anyone?

I don't collect Denby but i use it every day, so I enjoy it more regularly than my collection.

Lynne, yours is a Diana Worthy piece,she used to design for Denby then went it alone with her Crich pottery in Derbyshire. She packed it up and emigrated .... New Zealand I think?

The Denby 'Trees' pattern (my absolute favourite Denby design) was produced in 1971 and for one year only - this would explain it's scarcity - in 3 years of looking I've only managed to track down two side plates :-(

Some more info below:

* 'Into the trees Denby Pottery have produced a new ten-piece range of stoneware called Trees. Two sizes of plate (6in and 8in) together with a cereal or soup bowl form the basis of the set, which also includes a milk jug, tea pot and coffee pot, mug and saucer, and a sugar bowl. The shape was designed by Gill Pemberton and the decoration - black trees set against a spotted sky and candy striped hills - was by Diana Woodcock Beckering.'

Tibor Reich (1916 - 1996) born in Hungary.

Tibor Reich designed a highly collectable black & white range for Denby in the 1950s. He's also famous for his designs in other fields such as textiles.

When I first became a professional dealer I sold this dish on eBay - I didn't know what it was then but it sold for a lot more than I was expecting so had a feeling it might be special! I now know that it was a 'Pusta' (star) dish from the Tigo Range and is the same shape as the 'T' he used in his Tigor logo.

1956 'Burlington' range skittle shaped vase (shapes designed by Albert Colledge, decoration by his son Glyn).

More from the Burlington range - these pastel colours were slightly later than the black & white above.

I aquired this Denby bowl recentley and was hoping someone could throw some light on the markings on the base. The AT monogram i'm pretty sure is Alice Teichner but I don't understand the W T L & S, any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

I can find a couple of references to "WTL&S" on Poole from the late '30's as well, so most likely a retailer.

Thanks, I have since found out that it was indeed a retailer.

I think I might have seen this signature on here somewhere, but before I trawl through everything looking for it to see if I did see it here or not does anyone recognise it and thus point me in the right direction please?
