We have 36 lines of Denby Arabesque in stock to buy now.

Denby Arabesque was discontinued in 1984 after being introduced in 1963. It is one of the most recognisable and collected tableware collections from 1960s.

The history of Denby's Arabesque pattern centres around its designer, the exceptional Gill Pemberton, who took inspiration from a trip to Russia. The original name for the collection was Samarkand, but it was later changed to Arabesque to avoid confusion with similar collections from other manufacturers. The hand-painted Arabesque design has become so iconic that it features in the V&A Museum collection and is described as 'dark brown semi-matt glaze with brown, yellow, and red enamels, and with a painted Arabesque pattern of circles and a daisy in the centre.'

The mustard pot was an added item to my set and I couldn't be more pleased with the condition of the item as I'm an avid mustard user.

The cream jug and sugar bowl were the first items to be chipped and broken in my twelve piece dinner set and I was unable to find these replacements in excellent condition in Australia due to their age. Replacement crockery in great condition is what Chinasearch excel at and I'm so pleased I found them.

The items were in excellent condition and impossible to find in Australia, which I did search here for years. I thank the Chinasearch team for their dedication in finding what I wanted.

Unfortunately, I ordered the larger bowls - not realizing that there are two sizes, so they don't match my existing china; but that's my fault. Other than that, they are perfect and give me another option when serving etc.

I accept that I ordered 'fair' condition china replacements, but two of the three plates are badly discolored, with dripped/ incorrectly formed decorations and incorrect or badly faded colouring. They look like practice pieces for factory workers learning to paint and should not really be sold - even as 'fair' condition. Sadly they don't come anywhere close to my existing plates, so will be used a 'cake' plates or similar, not for serving meals etc.
Comment from Chinasearch:
We are sorry to hear you are not happy with 2 of the plates we sent you. Please can you call us on 01926 512402 so we can sort this out for you.
