Product Description
The Churchill Raku Duo Espresso Cup in Topaz Blue is part of the Studio Prints collection, a range designed to bring the character of traditional studio pottery into commercial hospitality settings. The Raku pattern takes its inspiration from the Japanese Raku firing process, a technique known for producing expressive, irregular glaze effects. Churchill recreates that artisan aesthetic through a controlled print process, with the decoration applied beneath the glaze rather than on top of it. The result is a cup that holds its visual appeal through repeated commercial wash cycles without the decoration wearing or lifting.
Constructed from Churchill's super vitrified body and manufactured in the UK, these cups are built to cope with the demands of busy café and restaurant service. Super vitrified chinaware is noticeably more resistant to chipping and cracking than standard porcelain, which matters when cups are being handled at pace during a busy morning service. At 122.5g per cup, the Raku Duo has a solid, well-balanced feel that sits well on a saucer and holds up reliably when stacked in a commercial environment.
- Decoration fired beneath the glaze for long-term pattern durability
- Super vitrified construction resists chipping in daily commercial use
- Distinctive Topaz Blue Raku print adds visual character to a coffee menu
- Dishwasher safe and suitable for high-frequency commercial wash cycles
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for back-of-house stock management
These cups are well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant coffee programmes where presentation matters alongside durability. The 99ml capacity is appropriate for a standard espresso or short serve. Operations needing a fuller range — including matching saucers, larger cups, or complementary pieces — will find the broader Raku Studio Prints collection worth exploring.
If you're building a crockery range for a new opening or refreshing an existing coffee programme, the team is happy to talk through quantities, mix-and-match options, and what tends to work well in different service contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The super vitrified construction is specifically intended for commercial hospitality environments where cups go through a dishwasher multiple times daily. The under-glaze print process also means the decoration is protected from the abrasion and thermal stress of commercial wash cycles, which helps maintain appearance over time.
- Churchill's Studio Prints Raku range includes a wider selection of pieces beyond the espresso cup, so it is worth checking availability across the collection if you need a coordinated set. If you're specifying crockery for an opening or a full coffee programme, the team can advise on what's currently in stock and what combinations tend to work well in practice.
- Super vitrified ware is fired at a higher temperature, producing a denser, harder body that is significantly more resistant to chipping and cracking than standard porcelain. In a busy service environment where cups are stacked, cleared quickly, and washed at high frequency, that additional durability translates directly into lower breakage rates and longer service life.
