Press
Release Body: In 2009 Denby celebrates 200 years of producing
pottery in Derbyshire. Renowned for its quality and durability
Denby’s products have evolved to meet the ever changing
needs of consumers. To help Denby celebrate the bicentennial,
Debenhams is stocking up on their selection, including the brand
new tableware range.
While
many people believe that Denby
Pottery has always primarily made tableware, in fact it has
produced all manner of ceramic items from ink bottles, hot water
bottles, fine artware pieces to the well known and loved tableware
of today. Denby has a fascinating history which is being celebrated
by the launch of a brand new shaped tableware range and for this
special year only, there are two limited editions in the form
of a mini One Cup Teapot and a large One Pint Mug to celebrate
in style
The
totally new official bicentenary pattern tableware range called
'Pure Green' will be unique both in terms of both colour and shape
and has been specifically created to welcome in Denby’s
bicentenary year. Designed in-house, as with all Denby ranges,
'Pure Green' is subtle in tone with curvy shapes, and judging
by initial reactions to the range is set to become Denby's next
generation of iconic style. Sophisticated enough for formal dining
but bearing the practical qualities inherently Denby,
'Pure Green' will be just as suitable for more relaxed dining
occasions.
As
one of the biggest stockists of Denby pottery in the UK, Debenhams
has welcomed the latest range which gives a refreshing twist to
a classic colour combination and will sit perfectly alongside
the other existing collections. There are 19 pieces in the range
including extra large gourmet plates and bowls for impressive
entertaining. An extra generous teapot providing 6 welcoming cups
of tea for family gatherings and for occasions when a normal teacup
just isn't big enough, the small mug also fits the tea saucer.
Also
available for the Bicentenary year only are six mini one cup teapots
in 'Pure Green', 'Linen', 'Truffle', 'Jet', 'Denby
Imperial Blue', and ‘China by Denby’. The Mini
Teapots are ideal gifts for Collectors (of teapots and Denby)
but, of course, being Denby are practical to use too. The teapots
are gift boxed in beautiful packaging with black silhouette images
of popular Denby pieces over the years.
Limited
to production for this special year is a large One Pint Mug. Available
in the Craftmans' shape in 'Imperial Blue', Denby
Regency Green and ‘Linen’ to celebrate 200 years
in style.
The
‘Pure Green’ range, ‘One Cup Teapots’
and ‘One Pint Mugs’ will carry the official bicentenary
backstamp.
About
Denby
Since 1806 when William Bourne realized the value of a seam of
clay which was found at Denby during work constructing a road
to link the industrial towns of Derbyshire, leading to the construction
of the pottery in 1809, Denby has become world famous for its
stoneware products and is fast gaining a reputation for porcelain
(White, White Trace and Serve) and china (China by Denby), all
of which are designed for real food, not just for show.
