Churchill Studio Prints Raku Round Trace Plates Topaz Blue 264mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Studio Prints Raku Trace plate is a 264mm round plate made from Churchill's super vitrified ceramic in a Topaz Blue colourway. Each piece is individually kiln-fired, which produces a natural variation in the blue and white trace pattern across the set — an inherent characteristic of the Raku process rather than a quality inconsistency. The result is a table setting that reads as considered and handcrafted rather than mass-produced.

In a busy service environment, vitrified ceramic is a practical choice. Churchill's super vitrified body withstands commercial dishwasher cycles, regular stacking, and the general handling that comes with high-volume covers, while its chip-resistant construction helps keep replacement costs down over time. The Topaz Blue colourway performs particularly well under warm and neutral lighting, and the contrast between the trace pattern and the white ground suits a range of plating styles — seafood, salads, and lighter sharing plates sit naturally on this format.

• Individual kiln-firing produces natural pattern variation across each set
• Super vitrified construction withstands commercial dishwashing and daily stacking
• 264mm diameter works across starters, sharing plates, and lighter mains
• Chip-resistant body reduces crockery replacement costs in high-turnover operations
• Coordinates with other pieces across the Studio Prints Raku range

At 264mm this plate sits between a side plate and a full main plate, offering flexibility across courses without committing to one use. It is sold in packs of 12, which suits both initial set-up orders and top-up purchases. Bear in mind that pattern variation between pieces is inherent to the process — if absolute uniformity across a cover is a priority, a standard printed range is likely a better fit.

This plate is well suited to restaurants, cafés, and bistros where presentation is part of the offer and crockery needs to hold up under regular commercial use. If you need a larger plate for main course covers or smaller pieces for sides and bread, the Studio Prints Raku range includes other formats worth considering alongside this one.

If you're putting together a full table setting or want to understand how the Raku range works across a cover, the team is happy to talk through the options before you settle on quantities.
