Denby's Halo is made in England using locally sourced clay, each piece of Halo is handcrafted using pottery skills passed down through generations. Denby hand applies two glazes which merge together to create an effect, unique only to Denby. Anyone who owns Denby will tell you how versatile it is and how good it feels. Every piece has been designed for cooking, serving and eating food � from the �gravy rim� on our plates to the space on our saucers for biscuits. Our tableware is made for real food, not just for show. It�s for sharing, for fingers, for chopsticks, for barbeques, for kitchens�you choose. Denby can handle itself in the busiest kitchens. From the smallest cup to the biggest casserole, all our pieces can be used with confidence in the microwave, dishwasher and freezer. We've got over 5000 glazes, all harder than steel. It's taken us 180 years to get our glazes as flawless as they are, meaning our tableware washes more easily, but chips less easily. Denby is smashing stuff! Our tableware is really much harder to crack than other tableware. Each Denby piece is unique. It passes through 25 pairs of hands before reaching yours, including a test to make it as comfortable as possible to hold.
