Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Raku plate is a coupe-style side or starter plate finished in agate grey. Each plate is produced using a kiln-reactive glaze process, which means the pattern that forms during firing is unique to each piece — no two plates are exactly alike. The result is a naturally varied, earthy aesthetic that suits informal fine dining, modern bistro settings, and contemporary casual restaurants equally well.
Made from Churchill's super vitrified ceramic, these plates are built for the demands of busy commercial service. Super vitrified ceramics are significantly harder and more resistant to chipping than standard vitrified ware, which matters in environments where plates are stacked, transported, and cycled through dishwashers repeatedly across multiple covers. Churchill backs this with a five-year edge chip warranty, which reflects genuine confidence in the material rather than a marketing gesture.
From an operational standpoint, the plates are cleared for commercial dishwashers, microwaves, and ovens, which simplifies kitchen workflow and removes restrictions on how plating or reheating is handled during service. The coupe shape — no rim — gives chefs a clean canvas and makes them straightforward to wipe or plate consistently.
- Kiln-reactive glaze produces natural variation across each plate
- Super vitrified ceramic resists chipping under daily commercial use
- Compatible with commercial dishwashers, microwaves, and ovens
- Coupe profile suits modern plating styles and informal fine dining
- Available in multiple sizes for building a coordinated table setting
These plates are well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and contract catering operations looking for a distinctive but hardwearing table setting. The 165mm size works best as a side, starter, or dessert plate. If you are building a full cover across multiple plate sizes, it is worth discussing the range before ordering to make sure finishes remain consistent. We are happy to help with that.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The glaze is fired into the ceramic during production rather than applied as a surface coating, which means it is not vulnerable to the fading or crazing that can affect painted or screen-printed finishes over time. Churchill's super vitrified body and the five-year edge chip warranty reflect the durability expected from regular commercial dishwasher cycles.
- At 165mm this plate is best positioned as a starter, dessert, or side plate. For main course covers most operators would look at the larger sizes within the Raku range, which maintain the same glaze aesthetic and can be ordered to build a consistent table setting across courses.
- Yes, the plates are approved for oven use as well as microwave and commercial dishwasher use. If you are planning to use them for pre-heating or holding during service, it is worth confirming your specific temperature requirements with us to make sure the intended usage falls within the product's operational parameters.
