Product Description
The Churchill Black Igneous pie dish is part of Churchill's Art de Cuisine range — a stoneware tableware collection designed for commercial food service environments where presentation and durability both matter. Each dish features a glazed upper surface with a deliberately exposed stoneware base, giving it a rustic, artisan appearance that works well with contemporary plating styles. The 160mm format holds a generous individual portion, making it a practical choice for traditional pies, baked dishes, and oven-to-table service.
Stoneware handles oven service well, and these dishes are well suited to kitchens that prepare and present food in the same vessel — reducing plating time and keeping dishes warmer at the pass. The exposed base finish is consistent across the range, so dishes sit and stack cleanly on shelving without glazed surfaces scratching one another.
- Oven-safe construction supports direct oven-to-table service
- Glazed upper surface is straightforward to clean and resists staining
- Consistent sizing across the pack supports uniform portion presentation
- The black Igneous finish suits a wide range of table settings and menu styles
- Sold in packs of six, which suits initial stock builds and top-up orders alike
These dishes do not require any special installation or utility connections, but they should be introduced to oven heat gradually if moving from cold storage — a common consideration with stoneware. Each dish weighs 450g, so stacking weight is worth accounting for on open shelving in busy prep areas.
Well suited to restaurants, gastropubs, and café operators serving individual baked or pie-based dishes. The 160mm size is a standard individual portion format; operators running larger sharing or family-style portions may want to consider a larger dish from the same range.
If you are building out a tableware specification or want to discuss how this dish fits alongside other pieces in the Igneous range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, stoneware is well suited to oven use and these dishes are designed to go from oven to table. As with all stoneware, it is good practice to avoid sudden extreme temperature changes — moving a dish from a cold fridge directly into a very hot oven can stress the material over time, so a short rest at room temperature before baking is advisable where your workflow allows.
- The glazed upper surface is designed for commercial environments and handles regular dishwasher cycles well. The exposed stoneware base is unglazed, so it is worth checking over time that base surfaces remain intact and that dishes are stacked carefully to avoid chipping during storage or transport through a busy wash area.
- For most individual pie portions — a shortcrust or puff-topped pie with a standard filling — 160mm and 550ml is a practical fit. If your portions are particularly generous or you are serving sharing dishes, a larger format from the Igneous range is likely to be a better match. The team can help you compare sizes if you are unsure.
