Vintage Denby Pottery and Teak Salt and Pepper Pots Set – Danish Design

Jon Nix — Sat, 24 Sep 2022 21:05:33 +0000

A pair of vintage and extremely uncommon Denby salt and pepper pots, combining Denby's stoneware expertise with the Danish design of Kurt Franzen of Digsmed to give these teak-bodied condiments a mid-century flavour. The fixed pottery tops - we think these were designed as part of the "Romany" range or at least would be a good match for it - have a grey-brown speckled gradient and are perforated with an "S" and a "P" in the top. The rounded teak bodies have a plastic stopper in the base for re-filling.

Measuring approximately 10cm (4 in.) in height, and with a maximum diameter of approximately 6.5cm (2½ in.), they are in very good used condition - the salt pot has a firing defect which has been glazed. They individually weigh approximately 220g.

Denby Stone and Teak endgrain patterned trivet or small serving board, handcrafted in Denmark

A very attractive-looking butchers block-style trivet or serving board produced by Denby as part of their "Stone and Teak" range. Handcrafted in Denmark in collaboration with Digsmed, the range of products were intended to be complementary and showcase each partner's skills. In this case, there's no stone, just beautifully crafted endgrain teak in a Danish modern style, just some subtle curves to the shape in order for the wood to speak for itself.

In very good, clean, condition with some minor signs of use as one might expect from an item of this type - surface blade marks, etc. - but no chips or dents, and with plenty of life left in it. Original makers stamp to the underside. It measures approximately 25 cm by 15 cm by 2.5 cm (10 in. x 6 in. x 1 in.)

Mid-Century Teak and Glass Small Storage or Spice Jars by DIGSMED, Denmark

A fine looking pair of DIGSMED small glass storage or spice jars with teak tops dating from the 1960s and made in Denmark. They don't seem to be oddments from a spice rack set and appear to have been sold separately. Evidence of this is provided by the fact that they still have original labels attached - the maker's label and some other label which would seem to either be an item identifier or a shop label.

Both jars have metal screw top lids which are capped with a very mid-century modern style teak. The larger of the two - measuring about 10cm (4 in.) high with a diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.) has "1/8 Kg" embossed to the base which is also where its maker's sticker is. The snaller of the two - measuring about 10cm (4 in.) high with a diameter of 5.5cm (2 1/8 in.) - has no such embossing and its marker's sticker is on the side. The smaller jar has a slightly lighter tone to the wooden "cap". Both jars are in very good condition - no chips or cracks to the glass and the wood is similarly good. Both have some tarnishing to the metal interiors.
