Product Description
The Churchill Stonecast Patina Lotus plate is a hand-painted side or starter plate finished in Iron Black, part of Churchill's Stonecast Patina range. The 192mm diameter makes it a practical size for bread, appetisers, or accompaniments, and the textured, artisan aesthetic is designed to complement plated food presentation in a way that plain white crockery does not.
Churchill's super vitrified construction gives these plates a practical advantage in busy service environments. Super vitrified china is fired at higher temperatures than standard earthenware or stoneware, producing a denser, harder body that resists chipping and cracking under the repeated handling and stacking that comes with high-volume covers. The superior glaze helps protect the hand-painted pattern through regular commercial dishwasher cycles, maintaining the appearance of the range over time without the fading that affects lesser-quality decorated ware.
- Robust enough for daily commercial dishwasher use without pattern degradation
- Microwave safe, supporting flexible plating and reheating workflows
- Hand-painted Iron Black finish suits modern, rustic, and natural plating styles
- Consistent pattern and finish across the Stonecast Patina range for a cohesive table presentation
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for par stock management
These plates require no special storage or handling beyond standard crockery care. They stack cleanly and are sized for standard crockery storage systems. The 370g weight per plate is on the heavier side of the super vitrified category, which contributes to the quality feel in service but is worth factoring into stack height and handling expectations for front-of-house teams.
This plate is well suited to restaurants, hotels, gastro pubs, and casual dining operations where presentation quality matters and crockery is expected to withstand heavy daily use. The Stonecast Patina range is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, so if you are building or extending a collection, it is worth ensuring you select pieces that work together across courses.
If you are choosing crockery across multiple pieces or ranges and want to discuss what works well together in service, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Provided the plates are used within normal commercial conditions and not subjected to abrasive cleaning agents, the finish is designed to remain stable with regular high-temperature washing.
- At 192mm, this plate sits comfortably in the side plate and small starter plate category. It works well for bread, amuse-bouche, appetisers, and accompaniments. If you are looking for a main course or larger sharing plate within the Stonecast Patina range, the collection includes larger diameter options that may be more appropriate.
- Yes. The Stonecast Patina Iron Black finish is consistent across the range, so plates, bowls, and serving pieces in the same colourway work together across a table setting.
