Churchill Inked Fresco Natural Footed Plates Blue 165mm (6 Pack)
£59.59(£71.51 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Churchill Inked Fresco range is a decorative tableware collection produced in Churchill's Super Vitrified ceramic body. The 165mm footed plate carries a stylised fish motif, a design reference drawn from 18th-century ceramic tradition, and is finished in a blue colourway with a glazed surface. The footed profile raises the plate slightly from the table, lending a considered, composed look to plated dishes without requiring elaborate presentation effort from kitchen or front-of-house teams.
In service, Super Vitrified ceramic performs reliably under the conditions that cause cheaper tableware to fail. The vitrified body resists thermal shock during rapid temperature changes — relevant when plates move between a warm pass and a cooler dining room — and the glaze finish offers good resistance to staining and surface wear over repeated use and washing cycles. Backed by a five-year edge chip warranty, these plates are suited to environments where breakage costs and replacement frequency are a genuine operational consideration.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Dishwasher safe — compatible with commercial glasswasher and dishwasher cycles
- Microwave safe — useful for reheating or finishing dishes at the pass
- Consistent glaze finish supports portion presentation without surface variation between pieces
- Supplied in a pack of six, suited to building table cover sets efficiently
- Five-year edge chip warranty provides a degree of cost protection in high-turnover service
The Inked Fresco design works particularly well in dining concepts built around seafood, coastal, Mediterranean, Scandinavian, or Japanese-influenced menus, where the fish motif and blue colourway complement the culinary identity rather than work against it. At 165mm, the plate is best suited to starter portions, small plates, side dishes, or desserts rather than main course covers. Operators building a full table scheme should consider how this size sits alongside larger plates or bowls within the same Inked Fresco collection.
If you're building a new cover scheme or refreshing existing tableware and would like to talk through quantities, sizes, or how this range sits alongside other Churchill collections, our team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.
Frequently asked questions
What size portions is the 165mm plate best suited to?
At 165mm, this plate is well suited to starters, small plates, amuse-bouche, desserts, or side dishes. It is not typically used as a main course plate in most dining formats, so operators building a full table scheme will generally want to pair it with a larger plate from the same collection.
How does Super Vitrified ceramic hold up in a busy commercial dishwasher environment?
Super Vitrified ceramic is a denser, more fully fired body than standard earthenware or porcelain, which means it handles the repeated temperature cycling and mechanical handling of commercial dishwasher use well. The glaze resists staining and surface degradation over time, and the five-year edge chip warranty reflects Churchill's confidence in the material under demanding hospitality conditions.
Is the Inked Fresco design available in other sizes or complementary pieces?
The Inked Fresco range extends across multiple sizes and formats within the Churchill catalogue, so operators looking to build a coordinated table scheme have options beyond this 165mm plate. If you're planning a broader cover set, it's worth speaking with us to confirm which pieces are available and which sizes work together most practically for your service style.
