Churchill Studio Prints Homespun Chroma Carbon Oblong Plate No.1 (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Studio Prints Homespun Chroma Carbon Chefs' Oblong Plate is a shaped serving plate from Churchill's Super Vitrified range, finished in a deep carbon glaze that draws on layered glaze techniques to produce a rich, textured appearance. The elongated oblong form suits plated starters, small plates, and chef's board-style presentations across a range of cuisine styles.

Made from Churchill's finest vitrified ceramic, these plates are built to perform in a commercial environment rather than simply look the part. The vitrification process produces a dense, low-porosity body that resists chipping and crazing under the repeated thermal cycling of a busy kitchen — wash after wash, service after service. At 325g per plate, the weight sits in a range that feels substantial without being cumbersome for front-of-house handling.

A few practical points worth noting for service operations:

• Fully glazed foot prevents scratching when plates are stacked, which matters when handling in volume
• Eco Glaze surface treatment helps resist staining and marking, reducing the risk of discolouration over time
• Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround through a commercial pass-through or rack machine
• Microwave safe, which is useful where plating and reheating overlap in the workflow
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to smaller cover counts or supplementing an existing set

There are no installation requirements to consider with tableware of this kind, but it is worth thinking about storage. The oblong format stacks efficiently, though the shaped profile means dedicated storage space or plate crates are advisable to avoid damage in transit or during a busy service.

These plates are well suited to independent restaurants, hotel food and beverage operations, and any venue looking to add visual contrast to a plated presentation without moving away from a robust, manageable everyday piece. The pack quantity of 12 is practical for smaller operations or for building cover numbers gradually. Sites with higher cover counts may want to consider ordering multiple packs to ensure adequate rotation through the wash cycle.
