After years of taking a backseat to the likes of terracotta, pink and grey – blue is making a comeback. But this time, it has partnered with white; its core colour cousin – evoking summers in Greece, giving you all the trappings for gorgeously impactful table setting Denby’s Design Director, Richard Eaton, pictured with the now iconic Craftsman’s Mug he designed to suit the Imperial Blue curved shape pattern. “Whether it’s delft or earlier Chinese porcelain – blue and white has played a huge part the history of ceramic design over the centuries, still inspiring designers today. Denby has an amazing rich history in blue and white ceramics which stretches back well over 130 years as the pottery moved away from salt glazing to decorative richly glazed wares. Today, Denby’s longest standing range is Imperial Blue which was launched in 1989 and is as popular as ever – a modern but timeless blue and white classic.”

The world has been an incredible source of inspiration for the creation of this Atlas collection. It’s durable porcelain tableware with clear references to natural elements such as blossoms, shell shapes, waves and other abstract structures that can be found in nature. Each element is characterised by a well-shaped rounded rim that creates a refreshing culinary perception. Atlas literally elevates the food that is served on it. The exceptional thing about Atlas is that no two items are precisely the same. The reactive glaze creates small imperfections that fit completely into the imperfect world it refers to.
