“Denby pottery was founded in 1809 and continues to the present day producing tableware and decorative stoneware items which are both practical and beautiful. Their practice of employing top designers and craftspeople has ensured its success for over 200 years.
Gill Pemberton’s Chevron design is I believe one of the design classics of the 20th Century…having as much in common with the principles of the Bauhaus as it does with domestic pottery. The Chevron range is ergonomically correct and balanced to use – in perfect alignment with one of the most important aspects of modern design principles – i.e. That form follows function.” (quote from Ray at C20Ceramics.net blog)
“The reason Chevron was renamed “Camelot” for the American market was apparently to avoid confusion with the Chevron chain of petrol stations which was pretty big in the U.S at the time. The movie “Camelot” was number 1 in the U.S at the time, and the name was chosen to ride on the popularity of the movie – although now it seems quite a strange mismatch I think. It is also said that the stylish Jackie Kennedy had this set on her wish list for the Whitehouse!” (quote from Ray at C20Ceramics.net blog)
