Set comprise of 4 dinner plates, 4 side plates and 4 bowls. Made in England using locally sourced clay, each piece of Denby stoneware is handcrafted using pottery skills passed down through generations and can pass through as many as 20 pairs of hands. Every item of pottery is still expertly glazed by craftsman and the distinctive glazes are renowned for their practicality, durability and chip resistance. Oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe. A natural choice For both modern and traditional spaces. Linen is oh-so simple, but effortlessly stylish. 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 - whilst Denby tableware is safe to use in a dishwasher, constant dishwashing may result in discolouration of product over time. We recommend using low temperatures and liquid detergents. The dinner set is microwave safe for cooking and reheating food. Suitable for the freezer for storing food. All pottery and china can crack if exposed to sudden changes in temperature, no matter how strong it is, so don't take items from the freezer and put them straight into the oven or microwave . do not expose to direct heat sources such as the hob or grill. Anyone who owns Denby will tell you how versatile it is and how good it feels. Every piece has been designed for cooking, serving and eating food - from the 'gravy rim' on our plates to the space on our saucers for biscuits.
