Churchill Raku Jasper Grey Oblong Plates 298x152mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Raku oblong plate in jasper grey is a reactive-glaze piece from Churchill's Raku collection. Each plate carries a metal-effect, stone-like finish that varies subtly from piece to piece due to the individual glazing process — meaning no two plates are identical. The oblong format suits a wide range of plating styles, from composed starters and sharing plates to modern main course presentations where a rectangular canvas works better than a round one.

Made from super vitrified porcelain, these plates are built to handle the daily demands of a commercial dining operation. The material is denser and more resistant to chipping than standard porcelain, which matters in a busy pass or when plates are being racked, stacked, and run through a commercial dishwasher multiple times a day. The individually applied glaze also helps protect the pattern and surface texture over time, so the finish holds up better than a standard transfer-printed plate under heavy rotation.

In practical terms, the Raku range suits operations where the look of the plate is part of the dining experience — casual-fine dining, modern bistros, hotel restaurants, and contemporary gastropubs. The jasper grey colourway provides good contrast against most foods, particularly where vibrant garnishes or sauces are part of the presentation.
