Product Description
The Churchill X Squared range is a well-established plain white porcelain plate designed for everyday use in professional catering environments. The 170mm size sits comfortably in the side plate and bread plate category, making it a practical choice for covers where a full dinner plate would be disproportionate — think pre-service bread, starters in a tasting format, or side dishes in a café or restaurant setting.
Churchill manufacture the X Squared range using a super vitrification process, fired at high temperature over an extended period. In practical terms this produces a denser, harder-wearing body than standard porcelain, which matters in a busy kitchen where plates move through service, a commercial dishwasher, and stacking racks repeatedly every day. The reinforced rolled edge reduces the likelihood of chipping at the rim — the point most vulnerable to knock damage in daily service. A glazed foot helps protect both the plate base and the surface it rests on, while also limiting the metal marking that can accumulate on unglazed bases over time.
- Super vitrified porcelain body for resilience under heavy daily use
- Reinforced rolled edge reduces chipping at the rim
- Glazed foot limits metal marking and protects table or tray surfaces
- Classic square profile complements a wide range of table settings
- Plain white finish works alongside most existing Churchill whiteware ranges
The 170mm format suits operations where a compact plate is needed — cafés, bistros, smaller restaurants, or as part of a mixed plate collection in a larger venue. For sites requiring a higher-volume pack or a different plate diameter, alternatives within the Churchill whiteware catalogue are worth considering.
If you're building or replacing a cover stock and want to talk through quantities or how this sits alongside other pieces in your current range, we're happy to help work through that with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The super vitrified body is specifically intended to withstand the thermal shock and mechanical handling of commercial dishwashing cycles. Most operators find the X Squared range holds up well over extended periods, though as with all porcelain, careful racking and avoiding direct plate-to-plate impact during loading will extend service life.
- At 170mm this plate sits in the smaller end of the starter plate range — it works well for bread, amuse-bouche, or compact starters, but for a more generously portioned starter course many operators prefer a 200–210mm plate. It's worth considering how your portion sizes present on the plate before committing to a full cover stock.
- Yes — the X Squared range is designed as a cohesive collection, so the plain white glaze and square profile carry consistently across plate sizes, bowls, and accompaniments. If you're building a matching table setting across multiple piece types, the range is designed with that in mind.
