Denby Imperial Blue Bowl

Imperial Blue is one of the most iconic and enduring collections from the British luxury pottery manufacturer, Denby. Originally launched in 1989, the range is known for its deep blue glaze and contrasting white interiors, featuring hand-painted botanical motifs as seen in this image. The brand is celebrated for its durability and 'Made in England' heritage.

Denby was founded in 1809 in Derbyshire, England, by William Bourne. Remarkably, the company still produces its high-quality stoneware in the same location today using locally sourced clay. Throughout its history, it has passed through various owners, but it currently operates under the ownership of private equity firm Hilco Capital, which has maintained the brand's commitment to British craftsmanship.
