Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Raku range offers a distinctive approach to tableware for operators who want something beyond plain white crockery. These rectangular plates are produced in a soft topaz blue colourway using a kiln-reactive glaze, which means each piece carries subtle variations in pattern and tone. No two plates are identical, which gives the range a handcrafted quality that works particularly well in environments where presentation is a considered part of the dining experience.
In everyday service, the vitrified porcelain construction is the more important practical story. Vitrified ware is fired at high temperatures to reduce porosity, making it harder-wearing, more resistant to chipping under regular use, and easier to keep clean than standard earthenware. These plates are built for repeated commercial wash cycles and the general handling pressures of a busy pass.
The rectangular format suits modern plating styles — particularly for starters, sharing boards, and main courses where the chef wants a defined presentation canvas rather than a circular plate. The larger footprint of this size gives kitchen teams genuine working space to compose dishes without crowding the rim.
- Kiln-reactive glaze produces individual character on each piece
- Vitrified porcelain construction handles repeated commercial dishwashing well
- Rectangular format supports contemporary plating and portion presentation
- Topaz blue colourway complements both light and dark food colours
- Sold in packs of six, practical for building or supplementing cover sets
This size is well suited to restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms running small to mid-sized covers where presentation is a priority. For very high-volume operations with significant breakage risk, it is worth discussing stock depth before committing to a single colourway across a full cover set.
If you are putting together a full table setting or want to understand how the Raku range fits alongside other Churchill collections, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified porcelain is the standard material choice for commercial crockery precisely because it tolerates the high temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers. The glaze is fired at temperatures that make it stable under repeated wash cycles, though as with any glazed crockery, avoiding stacking too heavily will reduce the risk of surface wear over time.
- That depends on your cover count, turnover speed, and how quickly your wash cycle returns clean plates to the pass. A common rule of thumb is to hold two to three times your seated cover count in crockery to keep service flowing during peak periods. For a 40-cover restaurant, three to four packs of six would typically be a starting point, though high-tempo services may need more.
- No. The glaze variations are purely aesthetic — the surface is smooth and food-safe in the same way as any other Churchill vitrified porcelain. The reactive glaze process simply produces tonal and pattern differences between pieces during firing, which is what gives the Raku range its individual character rather than the uniform appearance of standard crockery.
