Denby Range Display

The only known collection of plates from virtually all the main-stream patterns produced by the Denby Pottery is now installed as part of the Stoneware Quest display stand in Building Three. Originally shown at an Antique Centre in Ripley, Derbys, for a number of years, it has been augmented and re-displayed here at Hemswell, an unique resource for identification and research into tableware design from the 1950's to present day.
Over the next few months it will also include the current designs, providing the Denby collector with an unarguably good reason for visiting perhaps the broadest based collection of Denby Pottery in the East of England.
A further project will see examples of all the main decorative ranges produced by the Pottery in its 'J Bourne & Sons' guise during the 1920's, 30's and 40's displayed within the same area.
