On offer are the items as shown: The stylized coffee pot, the jug with a long amorphic spout and a little mug (or is it a stylized sugar bowl with handle).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll pieces are free from chips or cracks and in good vintage condition. There is a tiny bit of glaze crazing to the inside of the lid which is commensurate with age and cannot be seen when the lid of on the pot. I have taken an image of this for you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pieces were designed in 1956 by Tibor Reich (1916 - 1996) for Denby Pottery and are highly sought after pieces of mid-century ceramics.  The white pottery ground has been covered in a lightly textured matt black glaze, through this top layer of glaze sgraffito stripes on each piece have been made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: The Coffee Pot is 9 1\/2 inches in height.

He studied architecture and textiles in Vienna before moving to Britain in 1937. In 1946 he set up Tibor Ltd, introducing bright new colours and textures into the drab interiors of post-war Britain. The firm rapidly gained an international reputation working on commissions for the Festival of Britain, Expo ‘58 and Concorde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Tigo Ware’ was launched in 1953 and was designed by Tibor Reich. Much of the range has scraffito decoration and Denby used a special white clay to contrast with the dark, often black, glaze. Reich was a versatile designer and may have been drawn ceramics in order to complement his textile designs. The most striking is the black and white tableware and vases evocative of the Beswick ‘zebra-striped’ ware and Midwinter ‘Zambesi’ of the same period. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54958028292475,"sku":"Sold for £390","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1950s-denby-tigo-ware-coffee-pot-mug-jug-by-tibor-reich-with-original-paper-labels-british-ceramics-944.webp?v=1793598067","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1950s-denby-tigo-ware-coffee-pot-milk-jug-sugar-bowl-tibor-reich-original-paper-labels","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
