Churchill Raku Round Trace Plate Jade Green 264mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Raku Trace Plate is a 264mm round plate finished with a reactive glaze that fires unpredictably, producing natural tonal variation across each piece. No two plates carry an identical surface pattern — this is an intentional characteristic of the Raku range, not a quality inconsistency, and it is worth communicating that clearly to front-of-house staff before service. Plates are sold in packs of twelve, which aligns well with building or topping up a cover set.

Churchill's super vitrified body is the detail that matters most operationally. Super vitrification increases the density of the clay body, which directly improves chip resistance at the rim — the point where plates are most vulnerable during stacking, clearing, and rack washing. For kitchens running high covers with limited crockery rotation time between sittings, that added durability reduces replacement frequency over time and helps keep sets looking consistent.

• Reactive glaze produces natural surface variation, suited to contemporary plating presentations
• Super vitrified construction offers improved chip resistance under heavy service conditions
• Microwave and dishwasher safe, with no special handling requirements in service
• Pack of twelve suits cover set builds and routine stock replenishment

Being both microwave and dishwasher safe, these plates place no special demands on kitchen workflow. They pass through a commercial rack or conveyor glasswasher without concern and can go directly into a microwave where a dish needs finishing or holding — a practical consideration for kitchens that do not use hot pass lamps.

The Raku Trace Plate at this size works well as a main course plate in restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where a distinctive, tactile aesthetic forms part of the guest experience. It is less suited to high-speed canteen or contract catering environments where uniformity of appearance is prioritised over character. The broader Raku collection offers coordinating pieces — including side plates, bowls, and serving items — in the same glaze colourway for operators specifying across a full cover set.

If you are working through quantities or deciding how the Raku range fits alongside other Churchill lines, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
