Churchill Stonecast Trace Duck Egg Blue Plates 186mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Stonecast Trace range is a collection of super vitrified ceramic tableware designed to sit at the intersection of a handcrafted aesthetic and the practical durability commercial operations demand. These 186mm plates are finished in duck egg blue with a reactive glaze effect that gives each piece a subtly individual character, making them a natural choice for operators who want their tableware to feel considered rather than generic.

In service, the super vitrified ceramic construction holds up well to the conditions of a busy restaurant pass — resistant to chipping under normal handling, and the superior glaze provides a meaningful degree of protection against staining and metal marking from cutlery contact. This matters in a commercial setting where plates cycle through service, washing, and stacking repeatedly throughout a shift.

From an operational standpoint, the Stonecast Trace plates offer several practical advantages:

• Compatible with commercial dishwashers, keeping turnaround times in service manageable
• Suitable for use in commercial microwaves, adding flexibility to plating workflows
• The glazed surface resists staining and metal marking, maintaining presentation quality over time
• Manufactured in Britain to Churchill's established quality standards
• The reactive glaze finish means minor aesthetic variation between pieces, giving a handcrafted feel without sacrificing consistency of form

The 186mm diameter positions these plates comfortably as a side plate, bread plate, or starter plate depending on your menu format. They work well in casual dining, gastropub, and contemporary restaurant environments where a tactile, artisan-influenced table setting complements the food offer. For operators running higher covers or needing a broader range of sizes within the Stonecast Trace collection, there are larger and smaller formats available to build a coherent table setting.

If you're putting together a new tableware specification or expanding an existing one, we're happy to talk through quantities, mix-and-match options within the range, and what works in practice for different service styles.
