Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Raku Trace plate in Topaz Blue is a 264mm round plate made from Churchill's super vitrified ceramic. Each piece is fired individually, which means the blue and white pattern varies slightly from plate to plate — an intentional characteristic of the Raku process rather than a quality inconsistency. The result is a table setting that feels considered without being uniform.
In a busy service environment, vitrified ceramic performs well under the demands of commercial dishwashing, stacking, and daily handling. Churchill's super vitrified body is notably resistant to chipping and crazing, which matters in operations where crockery takes consistent punishment through the pot wash. The Topaz Blue colourway works particularly well under warm and neutral lighting, and the contrast between the blue trace pattern and the white ground suits a range of plating styles — seafood, salads, and light sharing plates sit naturally on this format.
- Individual kiln-fired pieces with natural pattern variation across the set
- Super vitrified ceramic construction suited to commercial dishwasher cycles
- 264mm diameter offers a practical size for starters, sharing plates, and lighter mains
- Combines with other pieces across the Studio Prints Raku range for a coordinated look
- Chip-resistant body helps reduce replacement costs in high-turnover settings
At 264mm, this plate sits comfortably between a side plate and a full main plate — a versatile size for operations that want flexibility across courses. It is sold in packs of 12, which suits initial purchases and top-up orders alike. Bear in mind that pattern variation between pieces is inherent to the Raku process; if absolute uniformity is a priority, a standard printed range may be a better fit.
This plate is well suited to restaurants, cafés, and bistros where presentation matters and table crockery takes regular commercial use. If you need a larger plate for main course covers or a smaller plate for side portions, the Studio Prints Raku range includes other sizes worth considering alongside this one.
If you're building a full table setting or want to discuss how the Raku range coordinates across a cover, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you commit to quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Not exactly — and that is by design. The Raku firing process means each plate reacts slightly differently in the kiln, so the blue trace pattern will vary from piece to piece. This variation is an intentional characteristic of the range. If a fully uniform pattern is important for your operation, a standard printed plate range would be a more reliable choice.
- Yes. The super vitrified ceramic construction is designed to withstand the temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwasher cycles. This makes the plates practical for high-turnover covers where crockery is turned around quickly between services.
- At 264mm, this plate works best for starters, sharing plates, and lighter mains — it is a versatile middle-ground size. For a full main course with generous portion sizes, you may find a larger plate from the Raku range sits better. It is worth considering your menu and portion sizes before committing to quantity, and the team can help you compare sizes if needed.
