Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Agano plate is a coupe-profile side or starter plate finished in black with an underglaze radial design that sits centrally on the plate face. It is part of Churchill's Studio Prints range, which is produced in super vitrified china — a denser, more durable body than standard porcelain, developed specifically for the demands of commercial table service.
Super vitrified china holds up well under the repeated handling, stacking, and mechanical washing that any busy operation puts crockery through. The underglaze decoration is fired into the body of the plate rather than applied on top, which means the pattern does not wear or fade with regular commercial dishwasher cycles — an important practical consideration for any venue running high table turns. At 217mm, this is a versatile size that works as a side plate, a starter, or a dessert plate depending on how your menu is structured.
Key practical points for operators:
- Super vitrified body resists chipping better than standard porcelain under daily service conditions
- Underglaze radial design is dishwasher-safe and will not fade with commercial washing
- Black glaze suits contemporary plating styles where colour contrast with food is a deliberate presentation choice
- Coupe profile with no rim keeps the plate face clean and simple for modern plating
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking in meaningful quantities
The black colourway suits venues where a bold table aesthetic is part of the dining experience — contemporary restaurants, cocktail bars offering food, and modern café-bistros tend to use this range well. It is worth considering how the black glaze will read under your dining room lighting before committing to a full cover stock, as colour temperature affects how the plate presents on the table. If you prefer a lighter or more neutral palette, the Studio Prints range includes alternative colourways at the same size.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The radial design is applied underglaze, meaning it is fired into the body of the plate during manufacture rather than sitting on the surface. This makes it resistant to the repeated high-temperature commercial dishwasher cycles that would degrade on-glaze decoration over time.
- As a general guide, most operators aim for two to three times their seated cover count to allow for plates in service, in washing, and in reserve — particularly where you are running multiple sittings. Packs of 12 allow you to build stock in sensible increments, and it is worth factoring in breakage rates when calculating your initial order volume.
- The Studio Prints range is designed so that individual pieces can be mixed across different patterns and colourways, which gives operators flexibility when building a cover set. If you want to confirm which other pieces are available in the Agano pattern or in the same black finish before ordering, our team can help you put together a compatible selection.
