Product Description
The Churchill Raku Trace Plate in Jade Green is a 264mm round plate finished with a reactive glaze, meaning no two pieces carry an identical surface pattern. The glaze fires unpredictably, producing natural tonal variations across each plate — an intentional characteristic of the Raku range rather than a quality inconsistency. These are sold in packs of twelve, making them a practical choice when building or replenishing a matching cover set.
Churchill's super vitrified body is the detail that matters most in a working kitchen. Super vitrification increases the density of the clay body, which translates directly into improved chip resistance at the rim — the point where plates are most vulnerable during stacking, clearing, and rack washing. For operations running high covers or with limited crockery rotation time between sittings, that added durability reduces replacement frequency noticeably over time.
- Reactive glaze produces natural variation — suitable for contemporary plating presentations
- Super vitrified construction offers improved chip resistance in busy service environments
- Microwave and dishwasher safe — no handling exceptions required in service
- Sold in packs of twelve, suited to building or topping up a cover set
Being both microwave and dishwasher safe, these plates place no special demands on kitchen workflow. They can pass through a commercial rack or conveyor glasswasher without concern, and can go straight into a microwave where a dish needs finishing or holding — a practical consideration for kitchens that do not use hot pass lamps.
The Raku Trace Plate at this size works well as a main course plate in a restaurant, bistro, or hotel dining room where a distinctive, tactile aesthetic is part of the offering. It is less suited to high-speed canteen or contract catering environments where uniformity of appearance is prioritised over character. For operators needing a fuller range — including side plates, bowls, or serving pieces — the broader Raku collection offers coordinating pieces in the same glaze colourway.
If you are specifying crockery across a new opening or a full cover refresh, we are happy to talk through quantities, mix of sizes, and how the Raku range fits alongside other Churchill lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The reactive glaze is fired as part of the vitrification process and is fully stable under commercial dishwasher conditions. It will not lift, fade, or mottle with regular commercial washing. The natural tonal variation you see on the plate is permanent and is not affected by heat or detergent.
- The Raku reactive glaze is intentionally variable — each plate will differ slightly in tone and pattern within the Jade Green colourway. This is a design feature of the range rather than a production inconsistency. It works well in settings where a handcrafted or artisan aesthetic is part of the dining experience, but operators who require a perfectly uniform look across all covers may find a standard glaze range a better fit.
- As a general guide, most operators plan for two to two-and-a-half times their seated cover count at any given size to allow for washing cycles, breakage contingency, and service overlap. For a 40-cover restaurant, that typically means 80–100 plates of this size, so seven to nine packs of twelve. If you are specifying across a full opening, it is worth talking through the full range of sizes and pieces to make sure quantities are balanced.
