Churchill Emerge Seattle Grey Unhandled Cups 340ml (12 Pack)
£109.00(£130.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Churchill Emerge range is a collection of ceramic tableware finished with an artisan-style two-tone glaze — a biscuit-coloured base with a hand-dipped grey top coat that gives each piece a distinctive, earthy character. These unhandled cups are the 340ml size, commonly used for flat whites, cortados, and similar specialty coffee serves where a handled cup would feel out of place.
Made from Churchill's super-vitrified ceramic body, these cups are built to hold up in environments where breakage is a genuine operational cost. Super-vitrified ceramics are noticeably harder and more dense than standard stoneware, which translates to better resistance to chipping at the rim and base — the areas that take the most punishment in a busy pass or glasswash. The glaze also shows reasonable stain resistance, which matters when cups are cycled through a commercial dishwasher dozens of times a day.
From a practical standpoint, the key points worth noting are:
- Super-vitrified body with strong resistance to chipping and cracking
- Suitable for commercial dishwashers and microwave use
- Two-tone artisan glaze that reads well on a café or restaurant table
- Unhandled format well suited to specialty coffee service
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for initial stock or topping up existing sets
These cups are well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast and lounge service, and casual dining restaurants where presentation matters but the crockery needs to withstand genuine daily use. They sit within a broader Emerge collection, so operators building a coordinated table setting can match across plates, bowls, and saucers from the same range.
If you're unsure how many covers a pack of 12 will realistically service, or whether the Emerge range fits the aesthetic you're working towards, we're happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
How well do these cups hold up in a commercial glasswash or dishwasher?
Super-vitrified ceramics are significantly more resistant to the thermal cycling and mechanical knocks of a commercial dishwasher than standard stoneware. Churchill's Emerge range is rated for commercial dishwasher use, and the denser body helps the glaze retain its appearance over repeated wash cycles. That said, loading practice still matters — stacking cups carelessly or overloading racks will cause chipping in any ceramic.
Is the unhandled format suitable for hot drinks, or only cold?
Unhandled cups at this size are widely used for hot specialty coffee drinks — flat whites, cortados, and small lattes — in café and restaurant settings. The 340ml capacity sits comfortably in the hand for a short serve. For very hot drinks served over a longer period, some customers prefer a handled option, so it's worth considering your typical serve style and customer expectation.
Can I mix these cups with other pieces from the Churchill Emerge range?
Yes — the Emerge collection is designed as a coordinated range, and Churchill produces plates, bowls, and saucers in the same two-tone glaze finishes. If you're building a table setting or want to extend an existing Emerge setup, it's worth confirming that the specific colourway matches across pieces, as Churchill occasionally introduces new tones. We can help confirm compatibility if you're unsure.
