Denby Burlington - Blue Variation

I was lucky enough to find this quite rare Denby part coffee set recently online. It a variation of the much coveted "Burlington" design by Denby Icon, Albert Colledge in 1958-59 when Albert was 68 years of age and had worked at Denby for 55 years. It is an unusual form for a coffee pot, and I think it looks better without the lid which sits quite loosely - more appropriate today as a water jug probably.

It was very contemporary design then, and I think it looks just as contemporary now.

Originally the design was glazed in a satin matt black and decorated with white, vertical broken lines. Soon after there was this turquoise blue variation. There is also a multi coloured pastel decor which I have shown previously on here, as well as an all green decor.

The forms in this series have such beautiful lines and proportions - and consisted of a variety of vessels including vases, bowls, planters, lidded jugs, coffee pots, coffee mugs and cruets.
