Would you still buy Denby pottery if it was made in China?

Would not bother buying it due to principle of being made abroad

No, but my range is discontinued so I wouldn't be able to get replacement items anyway.

No I wouldnt and if an item of Denby broke then I would look for a replacement from one of the many companies over here that specialise in providing second hand replacements (real Denby stuff though). I certainly wouldnt buy anything chinese - keep jobs for British workers I say.

No.
Just look at the Royal Albert range now that it is made abroad! Much inferior quality.
If you want cheap dishes then there are plenty around, but please keep a good quality British product.
I think that part of the problem is that we no longer buy things for life.
Programmes encourage us to "update" our homes, which means that we have lost the desire for good quality things that last.

I love Denby and have a huge amount of it,could have my own shop!Just had more shelves put up to hold some more!I would definitely not buy it if made in China.I live about 20minutes drive from Denby and get my china from the factory shop there,amazing bargains each time I go.I also have a lot of old patterns that I get from car boots or charity shops.Today I bought two mugs Old Serenade pattern, which were discontinued in 1983.KEEP DENBY MADE IN DENBY.

whilst on principle people say this you get the feeling that if a Grabbitt appeared with a suitably low price for a decent amount of items people would be all over it like a rash as is the norm (then on the vent board a few weeks later when the handle falls off the teapot)
