Product Description
The Churchill Vellum walled plate is an 8¼" round plate finished in a semi-matte glaze on a super vitrified porcelain body. The walled profile — a shallow, gently rising rim — keeps sauced and garnished dishes contained without the formality of a deep bowl, making it a practical choice for plated starters, sharing plates, and composed main courses where presentation matters but function cannot be compromised.
Super vitrified porcelain is produced at higher firing temperatures than standard crockery, resulting in a denser body with improved resistance to chipping along rims and edges — the most common failure point in a busy pass or pot wash. The semi-matte Vellum glaze holds its appearance well under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles and is less prone to showing cutlery marks than a high-gloss finish, which matters over time in any high-turnover operation.
Key practical points for operators:
- Super vitrified body offers stronger chip resistance than standard porcelain
- Semi-matte glaze resists cutlery marking and maintains appearance through repeated cycles
- Walled profile suits sauced dishes, risottos, pasta, and plated starters
- Sold in boxes of six — straightforward to build stock incrementally
- Consistent white finish integrates easily with existing Churchill Vellum pieces
No special storage considerations apply beyond standard plate racking. The plates stack securely, and the box quantity of six is practical for topping up existing sets or trialling the range before committing to larger volumes. There are no installation requirements — simply ensure your dishwasher programme is appropriate for porcelain and that plate storage racks are sized to the 8¼" diameter.
This plate suits restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and contract catering operations looking for a clean, contemporary white plate with reliable durability. It works equally well in lower-volume settings such as private dining or café service. For operations needing a full range of sizes and shapes, Churchill Vellum is available across multiple formats to build a cohesive table setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The semi-matte Vellum glaze is designed to withstand repeated high-temperature commercial dishwasher cycles without significant dulling or cutlery-mark build-up. In practice, operators find it holds its appearance better than a standard high-gloss finish over extended use, though as with all porcelain, correct racking and appropriate wash programme selection will extend the life of any plate.
- The 8¼" walled plate sits comfortably as a starter or sharing plate size in most operations, though some kitchens use it as a main course plate for lighter dishes such as risotto, pasta, or composed fish plates. If your main course plating typically requires more surface area, Churchill Vellum is available in larger formats that may be a better fit.
- Super vitrified porcelain is fired at higher temperatures than standard catering porcelain, which produces a denser, harder body with better resistance to chipping — particularly along the rim, where most damage occurs during stacking, clearing, and pot wash handling. For busy operations where crockery turnover is high, this translates into a longer usable life and lower ongoing replacement costs compared with standard-grade china.
