Churchill Studio Prints Agano Oval Chef's Plate Black 299x150mm Pack 12

The Churchill Studio Prints Agano oval plate is a shaped chef's plate finished in black with an underglaze radial design that radiates outward from the centre of the plate. The oval format and defined focal point are intended to frame plated dishes with a clear visual structure, making it a practical choice for kitchens where presentation is part of the offer.

Made from Churchill's super vitrified china, these plates are built to withstand the rigours of regular commercial use. Super vitrified ware is appreciably more resistant to chipping and crazing than standard porcelain, which matters in a busy pass environment where plates are handled repeatedly across multiple services. The black glaze is applied under the surface rather than over it, meaning the finish holds up through dishwasher cycling without the fading and dulling that affects surface-applied decoration over time.

In practical terms, the Agano plate works well for starters, fish courses, or smaller composed main plates where the elongated shape supports a linear presentation style. Kitchens running tasting menus or à la carte services will find it versatile across a range of dishes. Key operational considerations include:

• Underglaze decoration resists commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
• Super vitrified construction reduces replacement frequency in busy services
• Oval format suits linear plating styles across starters and fish courses
• Consistent sizing across the pack supports uniform presentation on the pass
• Stackable profile makes storage straightforward in a working kitchen

These plates are sold in packs of twelve, which suits initial range builds or topping up existing stocks. For kitchens covering larger covers or higher-turnover services, it is worth considering the volume of plates required across multiple sittings before ordering. Churchill produce the Agano design across a wider range of shapes and sizes, so building a coordinated table setting from a single collection is straightforward.

If you are building a new tableware range or matching into an existing Studio Prints scheme, the team are happy to talk through which shapes and quantities suit your cover count and service style.
