I recently struck gold at a local charity shop, where I stumbled upon some Denby pottery pieces. I recognized the Denby name, which is why I scooped them up, but beyond that, I knew very little about the pottery or its pattern.
Determined to uncover more, I put on my sleuth hat and discovered that the pieces I had purchased were from the Russet pattern. This collection is known for its heavy, sturdy build, making it ideal for everyday use. There's something satisfying about the substantial feel of these pieces.
The Russet pattern was manufactured by Denby Pottery between 1976 and 1982. Denby, located in Derbyshire in the heart of England's Midlands, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1809.
Denby’s history is beautifully documented in some classic old films. One from 1948 (26 minutes) offers a fascinating glimpse into the entire process, from the collection of clay to the crafting of teapots, casseroles, and other items. Another film from 1960 (15 minutes) showcases their more modern manufacturing techniques. Both provide a wonderful look into the craftsmanship that makes Denby pottery so special.

French silversmithing has long been revered for its exquisite craftsmanship and intricate designs, embodying the epitome of luxury and elegance. Among the illustrious names in this esteemed tradition stands Charles Victor Gibert, a master silversmith whose works have left an indelible mark on the history of decorative arts. He was born in Paris in 1810, into a family with a rich heritage in the silversmithing trade, and from a young age displayed a natural affinity for metalwork and design, honing his skills under the tutelage of his father, who was also a renowned silversmith.
