Denbac was a French Art Pottery company founded in Vierzon, central France by Rene Denert, an artist and ceramist who started making pottery in 1908. It became known as Denbac in 1921 when Denert partnered with R.L. Balichon. Denbac used the local grey clay and a flame pattern of glazes known as “gres flame” as well as crystalline glazes. These lovely soft glazes, with subtle colours are distinctive features of Denbac pottery. Denbac pottery reflected the elegant lines and muted colours of the Art Nouveau period and spanned into the geometric lines of Art Deco until the company closed in 1952. There remains a dedicated number of collectors of Denbac pottery.
