Denby Pottery (Derbyshire)

Hi
I hope I've posted this in the correct place.
I know these pin dishes are Denby - they're clearly marked but I am interested to know the name of the pattern and possibly who designed it - would it be one of the Colledges ? I gather from the backstamp that they were made sometime between 1950 - 1975. Is it possible to be more precise?
Finally, do they have any value?




I would be very grateful for any info

The second one looks very like Glyn Colledge, and if that's by him then the first must be too. But it's not signed so difficult to be sure.

Thanks. I thought it looked like Glyn. I assume he didn't sign everything.
I had hoped someone recognised them .
I've looked through the Hopwood Denby book but there is no mention of the pattern

You are correct that not everything had the signature and I suspect that these are part of the "New Glyn Ware" range probably c1960 when the decoration became less "busy".

Not sure if this qualifies as a tazza but I don't know what else to call it, maybe 'nibbles bowl.'

4.7cm high 13cm dia, dark brown outer glaze to textured body. Green inner with white trailing.

The colour of the body and the stamp remind me of Hillstonia/Moira.

Would Denby do an applied glaze that looks like rick rack? I've never seen that.

Yes it is unusual, but everything else about it says vintage Denby to me.

I have several pieces of Denby and one piece of Langley in the cupboard next to me.  The mark above, is most like my Langley piece - the layout of the words and the fact that England is spaced slightly wider than "made in".  The only difference is that my piece has Langley and the windmill on it as well.

None of my Denby pieces have the wording laid out like this.  They either say "England" or have "Made in England' all on one line.

My pieces are all later, more contemporary bits though, for what that's worth.

Could anyone tell me about this pot?  Any information would be great! I would love to know when it was made, a guess on value and how rare it is, as I can't find anything the same anywhere after trawling the internet! I have found the colour to be homestead brown and this colour came into use in 1930.

Many thanks for any information given.

I need to be put out of my misery.  

its about 2 1/2" in diameter and 2 1/8" tall

Welcome to the Forum Kim.

Your small piece of Denby does appear to have the traditional Homestead Brown glaze but the shape appears to be that used for the Potters Wheel range that came on the market in 1973. This is borne out by the mark on the bottom of your piece that dates it to between around 1975 and 1985. I imagine it was made as a small storage jar and suspect that it is quite uncommon but it really doesn't have any significant value.

I hope that is of some help?

Hi can anyone help identify this jug? kindests emma

Its Denby Circa 1950 give or take a few years.
The signature is that of Glynn Colledge.

............. and the range was called Glyn Ware.

They were painted by a team of decorators but checked and signed by Glyn after he gave each piece the OK. The reason that it is often difficult to read, as in the case of your jug, is that he was right handed but signed these pieces with his left hand.

Any thoughts please on pattern/designer/date of this nice little lidded pot thanks John

   

Found a very similar one on Millers website, listed as:

Potters wheel it is...

Hey Pottery Brains. This one looks familiar but it's outside my usual area of interest so I don't know where to begin. Picked it up thinking it was Walter Moorcroft's signature but has no other Moorcroft marks. Who else signs their work in a similar manner to Moorcroft? (apart from fakers)

I've cleaned this now but it was filthy inside suggesting a bit of age to it. Skilled handpainting, hand thrown. Hoping that your meta-knowledge can id maker and age.
Thanks

It's from the Glyn Ware range that Denby introduced in 1950.

Note: It was originally called Glynn Ware in advertising.

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

Both pieces are Denby "FREESTONE" by Glyn college c1958.

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

Yes the teapot is "Canterbury", The others are "Bankware", made at Langley for USA export, to be given away free as a promotion
when one opened an account. There is also a blue version.

I have a large white bourne denby bowl which has a swirl pattern and a blue rim. I have been unable to identify it apart from the mark which I believe to be pre 1930's

...I use it as a door stop.
