@denbypottery_: Yesterday, on the same site where our pottery began 217 years ago, the final pieces of Denby made their way to the kiln for firing. Centuries of making pottery at Denby may be coming to a close, but the love and soul poured into each piece will live on. In the memories of our skilled craftspeople, in the feel-good moments our loyal collectors enjoy with their Denby, both here and around the world, and in the hearts of the whole community who have stood together and tried their hardest to #SaveDenby in our hour of need. Of course, there will definitely be Denby in many peoples’ homes for years to come, it was always made to last after all… Denby would not have been able to continue for this long without generations of dedicated, skilled people, from the kilns to customers’ homes and all the pairs of hands in between, thank you to every member of staff, past and present, for playing your part in taking care of this piece of history. The future is always uncertain and whilst it’s hard to comprehend what things may look like in the next weeks and months, we are so hugely proud of everything this Derbyshire pottery has achieved, it's not and has never just been about the pots. *Featuring Roger who has worked at Denby for 54 years. #fyp #foryou

Denby Pottery :
We have now reached 100,000+ signatures on our ‘Support the Ceramics Industry and protect British manufacturing jobs and skills’ petition which means that this will be considered for debate in parliament. The petition calls for the government to consider offering relief on the high energy bills required to make ceramics in the UK.
Whilst Denby’s position is sadly unchanged, this outcome could make a difference for our fellow potteries and acknowledges the importance of our shared heritage and skills, offering hope for the future of manufacturing ceramics in this country.
To everyone who has signed, thank you. We are proud of Denby’s history and pleased that this step can be part of its legacy.

Denby’s closing? 😭😭😭Gutted. I still have pieces from 30 years ago. Their designs are much copied but never bettered.

Petition signed and shared. Denby is an integral part of English heritage along with Wedgewood, Spode, Royal Worcester and others. We must protect the industry and the skilled labourers. Such a sad time for the Denby team.

Why can the government do something to save this British brand. It’s been a staple in many homes for over 200 years

The British government should be ashamed of themselves. They should help and levy energy bills and taxes to help them prospous for another 200 years. There's hardly no old established brands out there any more

Please use the link in our bio to support the petition, we’d hate to see any other UK ceramics manufacturers go through this too. Thank you ❤️

Why isn’t our government supporting our manufacturing skills?! It’s the same in the textile manufacturing industry in Yorkshire.

We need to stop over consumption. We need to stop fast fashion, cheap resin rubbish and places like B&M with their landfill trash. We need to buy to invest, buy to keep and buy to reuse until it’s broken. Then we wouldn’t lose iconic places like this.
