Product Description
The Churchill Raku Trace Plate is a large round plate finished in jade green with a reactive glaze. Because the glaze responds to the kiln environment during firing, no two pieces come out identical — each carries its own subtle variation in tone and texture. This is a deliberate design characteristic rather than a quality inconsistency, and it gives a table setting a considered, artisan quality without requiring hand-thrown pottery.
Made from super vitrified china, the plates are built to handle the mechanical demands of commercial service. Super vitrified bodies are significantly harder and more chip-resistant than standard vitrified ware, which matters in kitchens where plates cycle through service, clearing, and the dishwasher dozens of times a day. The material also retains its appearance well over sustained use, keeping the glaze looking consistent across a set even after heavy rotation.
For front-of-house teams, these plates work practically as well as aesthetically:
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward, high-frequency cleaning
- Microwave safe, allowing for reheating where the operation requires it
- Reactive glaze finish adds visual interest without relying on printed decoration
- Sold in packs of 12, suited to building or replenishing a consistent cover set
The 286mm diameter places these firmly in large dinner plate territory — well suited to main course presentation in restaurants, gastro pubs, and hotel dining rooms where portion sizes and plating space are important. The jade green colourway works particularly well with natural, earthy, or seasonal menus, though how it integrates with an existing table scheme is worth considering before committing to a full quantity.
If you're building a new cover set or want to discuss how the Raku range fits alongside your current crockery, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Each plate will show subtle variation in tone, pattern, and depth of colour — this is an inherent feature of reactive glazing rather than a defect. Across a pack of 12 the plates will share the same jade green colourway and general character, but operators should expect and embrace the individual differences rather than seeking uniformity.
- Super vitrified china is fired at higher temperatures than standard vitrified ware, producing a denser, harder body that is more resistant to chipping and crazing. It is a practical choice for commercial operations where plates go through service and the dishwasher multiple times a day, though no china is indestructible and careful handling during clearing and stacking will extend service life.
- At 286mm this is a large dinner plate, well suited to generous portion presentations and plating styles that use the full surface area for sauces, garnishes, or side components. For operations that favour smaller, more restrained plating or where table space is limited, it is worth considering whether a smaller plate from the Raku range would be a better fit.
