Teacup Tuesday – Denby & Johnson Bros.

My goodness the weeks are flying by and with the holidays fast approaching it seems like warp speed.  I’m running out of fine china teacups to show you, so this week my cup and saucer is Denby stoneware. 

PA122163My service for six of Denby stoneware is almost twenty five years old (1986).  It is in the Camelot pattern and was made in England.  These were my “everyday” dishes for many years.  I have mugs, as well as cups and saucers, but unfortunately I didn’t purchase the teapot.  The grey green color is better represented in the picture below.PA122165 I’ve always liked the shape of this Johnson Brothers “Fruit Basket Green” teapot and the green fruit and leaf pattern.

It was also made in England.

  9. Your Denby teacup and saucer are wonderful. I have always loved Denby's style and shapes, as well as the fact that they are stone ware.
    Your tea pot as well is just beautiful.
    Thank you so much for sharing with us today.
