Denby 1970s Catalogue
We love the feeling of nostalgia when flicking through dinnerware catalogues from time gone by. They have a wonderful ability to transport you to a different era, presenting the dinnerware pattern in its original home, surrounded by the room décor and soft furnishings it was designed to complement.
This Denbyware 1970s catalogue is certainly one of the best. For lovers of all things 70s, it’s a real vintage treat – full of the bold aesthetics and large floral decoration synonymous with this flower power era. Get the 70s vibe with these well-loved Denby patterns.
Denby Gypsy is a 1970s highlight – one of the most recognisable and loved patterns of its time. Large hand-painted wild roses in dusky pink evoke undeniable romantic charm. The hand-crafted nature of this collection means that variation in colour depth and intensity has been present since day one, so if consistency across pieces is important to you, get in touch and we’ll help achieve the best match.
With a similar feel to the Gypsy pattern, Denby Troubadour is indeed a subtle and elegant development of Gypsy and became widely regarded as a quiet masterpiece. The pattern’s simple lines – a key feature within the hand-painted magnolia blossoms – achieve a sense of calm and sophistication. Back in the 1970s, Troubadour stood out as a design that retained artistic integrity at a time when financial considerations were known to constrain artistic desire.
The minimalist Denby Potters Wheel collection shouts 70s style and is the result of Denby embracing freelance design talents. A simple yet appealing pattern sees a combination of concentric bands of oatmeal and brown framing a centre glazed in tan. This timeless dinnerware pattern is a popular vintage choice.
Originally created to offer ‘homespun charm’ for the American market, Denby & Langley Mayflower soon found popularity in the UK, inspiring the many stylised flower designs that followed. With its upright spray of three distinctive flowers framed by rich brown bands, this standout Denby collection makes for an intriguing accent to Denby Potters Wheel – Tan Centre.
Also produced under the Langley name using the well-loved Mayflower shapes is Denby – Langley Chatsworth, with its elegant large blue-grey flower that exudes decorative flair. Blue continues to be a popular choice for dinnerware, notable across Denby collections. The depth and contrast achieved through the rich cobalt blue accent is striking. Whether a true lover of the 70s look or someone who just appreciates good design and a beautiful blue colourway, Denby – Langley Chatsworth has both classic and contemporary appeal.
