Churchill Stonecast Patina Rectangular Plates Black 298mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Stonecast Patina Rectangular Plate in Black is a vitrified ceramic serving plate designed for sharing presentations and plated starters. At 298mm in length, the elongated format gives chefs a practical canvas for antipasti, sharing boards, dessert platters, and two-cover starters without the plate feeling oversized or awkward to carry.

Churchill's Stonecast Patina range uses a furnace reactive glaze that produces natural tonal variation across each piece, with a hand-finished rim. This means no two plates look identical, which lends a considered, artisan quality to the table without requiring any additional effort from front-of-house. The black colourway works particularly well where contrast with lighter-coloured food is part of the plate presentation.

As vitrified ceramic, these plates are built for sustained commercial use. Vitrified ware is fired at higher temperatures than standard ceramics, producing a denser, less porous body that resists chipping and crazing better under the conditions of a busy restaurant pass — repeated handling, commercial dishwashing, and stacking in a busy wash-up area.

• Reactive glaze finish adds visual character without operational complexity
• Elongated format suits sharing starters, charcuterie, and dessert platters
• Vitrified ceramic construction handles repeated commercial dishwashing reliably
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suitable for building consistent cover sets
• Hand-finished rim gives each plate a considered, individual appearance

These plates are well suited to restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where sharing plates or composed starters are a regular part of the menu. If you're building out a full tableware programme or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to talk it through.
