Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Kintsugi Quartz Black Oblong Plate is a 298 x 153mm serving plate produced in Churchill's finest vitrified ceramic. The Kintsugi design draws on the Japanese tradition of mending broken objects with gold — translated here into a crackled surface pattern with a subtle reactive texture. Because the glaze reacts slightly during firing, no two pieces are identical, which gives each plate a handcrafted quality whilst still meeting the consistency requirements of a commercial operation.
In a busy service environment, this kind of tableware needs to perform as well as it looks. Finest vitrified ceramic is considerably denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, which matters when plates are being stacked, slid across pass counters, and run through a commercial dishwasher multiple times a day. The fully glazed foot prevents the surface scratching that can occur when plates are stacked in quantity, and the ecoglaze finish helps resist staining from sauces and oils — keeping the presentation clean over prolonged use.
- Microwave safe for rapid plating and gentle reheating during service
- Dishwasher safe for high-cycle commercial warewashing
- Fully glazed foot reduces scratching when stacked
- Ecoglaze finish resists staining and marks
- Reactive texture means each plate carries a slightly unique finish
The oblong format suits a range of plating styles — starters, sharing plates, tasting courses, and composed mains where a rectangular canvas suits the presentation better than a round plate. It works well in contemporary restaurant settings, boutique hotels, and any operation where tableware is considered part of the guest experience.
This plate is sold in packs of 12. If you are equipping a larger operation or need to consider breakage allowances across a full service, it is worth thinking through your cover count and replacement strategy before ordering. The team is happy to help you work out the right quantity for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Finest vitrified ceramic is fired at a higher temperature than standard earthenware or stoneware, producing a denser, less porous body that is significantly more resistant to chipping and thermal shock. In practice, this means it handles the mechanical stress of commercial dishwashers, stacking, and busy pass environments considerably better than lower-grade alternatives.
- The Kintsugi glaze is intentionally reactive during firing, so there will be natural variation in the crackle pattern and texture from piece to piece — this is a characteristic of the design rather than a quality issue. In practice, the overall colour tone and pattern style remain cohesive across a pack, making them suitable for use as a matched set at the table.
- As a general guide, most operators plan for at least one and a half to two times their seated cover count per plate format, to allow for items in the dishwasher cycle and a reasonable breakage buffer. For high-turnover operations or where this plate will be used across multiple courses, it is worth calculating your throughput at peak service before deciding on quantity — the team can help you work through this if needed.
