UK pottery giant collapses into administration after 217 years – huge sale launched
Customers have been urged to make use of the deals while they can.
A British homeware store has slashed the prices of its products by up to 50% after it collapsed into administration. Denby Pottery has announced “fantastic offers” on a range of items, including cast-iron cookware and stainless-steel pans. The company has been offering up to £25% off anodised pans.
Customers have been urged to “grab a deal while you can” as the seasonal clearance sees selected buys go for up to half price, and prices from the company’s Cookshop range cut by 30%.
The beloved company is known for its high-quality handcrafted ornaments, tableware, and kitchenware.
It was founded over 200 years ago in Derbyshire and continues to operate at its established site. However, on March 31, 2026, Denby Pottery entered administration with FRP Advisory appointed as administrators.
The notice came as a result of the firm facing a “period of challenging financial circumstances,” it said.
At the time, Tony Wright, joint administrator of the Denby Group and partner at FRP, said: “Denby is one of Britain’s most beloved and enduring pottery brands, with a heritage spanning more than two centuries and a loyal following across the UK and internationally.
“Its products are found in homes from Derbyshire to South Korea, and the Burleigh brand, produced by Burgess and Leigh, is equally cherished across the global hospitality and luxury sectors.
“While it is disappointing that the Group has been unable to secure the investment needed to continue as a going concern, the strength and recognition of these brands is undeniable.
"We are focused on progressing the sale process as quickly as possible, and we would encourage any interested parties to come forward without delay."
