How To Take Care Of Your Denby Mugs

All Denby mugs are safe to use in the microwave, oven, dishwasher and freezer. Constant dishwashing will, however, cause fading overtime for the longevity of your mugs. It’s recommended that you handwash with warm water and a mild detergent.

Sharp changes in temperature can cause Stoneware, china and porcelain to crack (it’s rare, but it’s a possibility) before pouring boiling water into your mugs pour a little cold water (if you drink tea or coffee black) or milk. This will cool the boiling water slightly your drinks ready to drink faster. It’s safer in the event of a spillage and your mugs safe from cracking.
Don’t use under the grill or on the hob.

How Denby Makes Mugs

Derbyshire clay is moulded into shape by a Denby craftsman before being fired at 900 degrees. A glaze is applied from one of 200 secret recipes. The mug’s then fired again at 1200 degrees. The mugs hand decorated and fired again if necessary.

Each mug is carefully inspected and tested once passed the mug receives the Denby stamp of approval.

Each mug goes through 20 pairs of hands in this process rest assured you’re buying mugs that’ll last you years to come.
