Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Raku rectangular plate in Quartz Black is a vitrified ceramic plate designed for commercial hospitality settings. At 269mm across, it sits comfortably in the range used for starters, plated desserts, amuse-bouches, and structured sharing portions, making it a versatile choice across different service styles.
The Raku finish is kiln-reactive, meaning each plate carries subtle surface variation as a result of the firing process. In practice this gives the tableware an artisanal quality without the fragility that often comes with hand-thrown ceramics. Vitrified ceramic is a dependable material for busy service environments — it resists chipping better than standard earthenware and holds up reliably under the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers.
- Kiln-reactive glaze produces natural variation across the set, adding visual interest to the pass
- Vitrified ceramic construction withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
- Suitable for microwave and oven use, supporting flexible prep and service workflows
- Quartz Black finish provides strong contrast with lighter-coloured plating and garnishes
- Pack of 12 supports straightforward stock management for most cover counts
The rectangular format suits kitchens that plate to a structured layout. The pack of 12 is a practical starting point for smaller operations; higher-volume venues or those running larger tables will typically want to order multiple packs to maintain adequate cover counts and account for breakage over time.
These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and contemporary casual dining concepts looking for a consistent, considered aesthetic at the table. If you are building or refreshing a full cover set and would like guidance on quantities or complementary pieces from the Raku range, the team is glad to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This depends on your covers, table sizes, and how the plate is used within your menu. As a general guide, most operators plan for one plate per cover plus a breakage allowance of around 20%, so a 30-cover restaurant using this plate for a single course would typically start with three packs. Higher-volume sites or venues running multiple sittings per service should factor in more buffer stock.
- The variation across Raku-glazed plates is subtle — differences in tone and surface pattern rather than shape or colour. Most operators find this adds to the handcrafted feel of the table setting rather than detracting from it. If your concept requires a completely uniform appearance, a standard glaze from the Churchill range may be a more appropriate choice.
- Yes — vitrified ceramic is a reliable material choice for commercial dishwasher use and handles the thermal cycling of high-temperature wash cycles well. Churchill's Studio Prints range is widely used across busy restaurant and hotel operations where plates go through multiple wash cycles per day.
