Denby Imperial Blue crockery was first introduced by Denby pottery in 1989 and to this day remains one of our best selling Dark Blue Border designs. The traditional heavy Denby style ensures that Imperil Blue is robust and practical for everyday use and will not let you down when dining with Family and Friends. Each Imperial Blue piece is made in the Denby Factory in Derby England using many hand made elements. There can be slight colour, decoration and sizing variations. These should not in any way detract from the look and use of your Denby Pottery and are considered by the Denby Factory as part of the Denby DNA.
