In the 1980s, Cadbury’s launched its “Regions & Countries” series of mugs, blending the brand’s national identity with local pride. These promotional items highlighted different areas of Britain, reinforcing Cadbury’s image as a household name deeply connected to everyday life.

The Thames edition, produced by Denby, reflects the cultural and historical significance of the Thames Valley — from London’s river heritage to the surrounding towns and countryside shaped by the river’s influence. Denby’s involvement added an extra layer of quality, as the pottery was already renowned for its durable stoneware and stylish designs.
