Product Care

Denby is world famous for its stoneware products and is fast gaining a reputation for porcelain and china. As you would expect, all Denby tableware is practical, durable and extremely good looking.

Stoneware

Stoneware clay is very strong. It is fully vitrified (the surface is made glassy and non-porous) which gives it strength, durability and chip resistance.
It can be safely used in:
Dishwasher - we recommend using liquid detergents
Oven & Microwave – for cooking and reheating food
Freezer – for storing food

Porcelain

Similar in strength to stoneware, porcelain has a more translucent body and is naturally a blue-grey white.
It can be safely used in:
Dishwasher - we recommend using liquid detergents
Oven & Microwave – for cooking and reheating food
Freezer – for storing food

China

China by Denby has all the elegance of china with all the long-lasting toughness of Denby. It’s elegant and refined but also tough, useable and chip-resistant.
It can be safely used in:
Dishwasher - we recommend using liquid detergents
Microwave - for cooking and reheating food
Freezer – for storing food
Oven – safe to heat to a maximum of 100°C but not suitable for cooking

General Care

All pottery and china can crack if exposed to sudden changes in temperature, no matter how strong it is, so please don’t take items from the freezer and put them straight into the oven or microwave, or expose to direct heat sources such as the burner or grill.

Stacking

Even the hardest surfaces can be scratched: diamond scratches diamond. This can happen with all ceramic goods including your Denby. So please take care when stacking and handling your Denby as scratches can be more visible on colored glazes.
