Meet Denby and Burleigh Pottery
Back in 2020, we teamed up with the prestigious Denby and Burleigh Pottery to create a range of coffee drinking vessels that we could be proud of, and that we think align with what we stand for. They’re conscious of their footprint, they stay true to their local sourcing of materials, and they focus on a high quality of the best coffee cups.
Denby boast a range of the most beautiful, the most unique, and the absolute best coffee cups on the market. Their glazes are modern yet classy, with incredible blues to add some mood to your morning cup of coffee. Denby mugs are created from the claypits in Derbyshire, like the rest of their easy-on-the-eye ranges, which means that Denby coffee cups have a more than sustainable supply chain.
Burleigh pottery, along with Denby pottery form the Burgess & Leigh pottery group. However, they are by no means the same, and this is evident through Burleigh pottery’s handmade coffee mugs. The Burleigh coffee cups revolve around an utterly elegant appeal, which would make them a noticeable centrepiece to any coffee morning. Burleigh pottery’s inspiration comes from some interesting places, such as English tearoom designs of the 19th century.
Handmade
What these 2 pottery heavyweights do have in common however, is that every single coffee cup that they create, along with their other products, are entirely handmade. Handmade mugs have so many benefits to the coffee consumers out there. Did you know that thanks to each one being created without machine assistance, no 2 cups are ever the same? That’s right, handmade coffee mugs like Deny and Burleigh’s are unique, meaning that each cup is a moment in potting history. The method that is used is called the “tissue painting method”. This means that designs are applied to tissue paper by hand, and then on to the cups to create their famous and elegant designs. Creating handmade coffee mugs also means that quality control is built in to everything that they do! There is a dedicated team of professionals who take too much pride in their work for any coffee mugs to be anything short of spectacular.
Truly Unique
But what makes them the best coffee mugs around, what make them the elite in creating handmade mugs? It’s because they take pride in their materials sourcing from the claypits of Derbyshire. Any clay which is seen to be substandard is recycled and none of it goes to waste. Their constant eye for detail and quality, and their total commitment to being carbon neutral is why we love working with them. If the pure beauty of their coffee mugs wasn’t enough, they set the standards for how to succeed but stay true to their identity. Denby mugs fit what we are set out to achieve at All Things Coffee because they also help to promote small businesses across the U.K. and beyond.
Burleigh and Denby mugs are ideal for gifts for those who take pride in their coffee cups, or for those who enjoy the feel of a handmade coffee cup. Grab yourself a small part of pottery history and treat yourself to a set of handmade coffee mugs!
