Caring for your Denby

For 200 years, Denby has been world famous for its stoneware products and more recently is gaining a reputation for white porcelain and Bone China. Denby tableware is practical, durable and extremely good looking.

Stoneware

Stoneware clay is very strong. It is fully vitrified (the surface is made glassy and non-porous) which gives it strength, durability and chip resistance.

It can be used safely in the :

• Dishwasher - we recommend using low temperatures and liquid detergents
• Oven & Microwave – for cooking and reheating food
• Freezer – for storing food

Porcelain

Porcelain is similar in strength to stoneware, porcelain has a more translucent body and is naturally a blue-grey white.

It can be used safely in the:

• Dishwasher - we recommend using low temperatures and liquid detergents
• Oven & Microwave – for cooking and reheating food
• Freezer – for storing food

China

China by Denby is elegant and refined but also tough, useable and chip-resistant.

It can be used safely in the:

• Dishwasher - we recommend using low temperatures and liquid detergents
• Microwave - for cooking and reheating food
• Freezer – for storing food
• Oven – safe to heat to a maximum of 100°C but not suitable for cooking

General Care

All pottery and china can crack if exposed to sudden changes in temperature, no matter how strong it is. Don’t take items from the freezer and put them straight into the oven or microwave, or expose to direct heat sources such as stove tops, grills or naked flames.

Stacking

Even the hardest surfaces can be scratched. This can happen with all ceramic goods including your Denby. Please take care when stacking and handling your Denby as scratches can be more visible on coloured glazes.

Care Of Denby’s Oyster Range

Denby’s Oyster range features a mix of unique glazes, including a stunning ‘satin matt’ glaze on a number of items. Should this range show any marking, it should be easily removed with normal washing in soapy water or by placing it in the dishwasher on a normal wash cycle. If marking persists, we recommend to try using Jiff or any other light abrasive liquid cleaning product. Oyster has all the normal functionality and durability of Denby Stoneware.
