ABOUT DESIGNER ALBERT COLLEDGE
After joining Denby Pottery as a caster in the early years of the 20th century, Albert Colledge,s talents were quickly recognized.

Following his return in 1918 from the First World War, he became head of Denby Pottery,s newly established decorating department and later rose to be the Company,s chief in-house designer, a role that he ceded to his son Glyn in 1950.

However, Albert Colledge remained an important Denby Pottery designer, collaborating until his retirement with his son on many of Denby,s most successful lines.

Despite this, he remains best known for his ,Greenwheat, stoneware tableware introduced in 1956 and produced until 1977.
