These are sold in a pack of twelve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChurchill's super-vitrified body construction is the practical detail worth noting here. Super-vitrification reduces moisture absorption, which matters in a busy wash cycle environment where repeated thermal shock is routine. The glaze finish is formulated to resist staining and metal marking — both common issues with dark-bodied tableware in high-turnover service. The plates hold heat reasonably well for their weight class, which helps with plated dishes that sit briefly before reaching the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper-vitrified body resists moisture absorption through repeated wash cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlaze formulated to resist metal marking and staining on dark surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe for flexible front- and back-of-house use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChurchill 5-year edge chip guarantee provides practical assurance on breakage costs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoastal-influenced opal design suits modern plating across a range of cuisines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor operators building or refreshing a cover set, the edge chip guarantee is worth factoring into the total cost of ownership calculation — dark glazed plates can show chips more visibly than white ware, so the warranty carries genuine operational value rather than being a token assurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese plates are well suited to restaurants, gastro pubs, hotels, and catering operations looking for a coordinated, contemporary tableware range. The 260mm diameter works as a main course plate across most plating styles. If your service volume is particularly high or you need to cover multiple tableware categories, it is worth considering whether a broader range selection makes sense before ordering in volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are building a full cover specification or matching across multiple table formats, our team are happy to help you work through the options before you commit to quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Churchill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58198044672382,"sku":"JN126","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/jn126_npi26-2.jpg?v=1791816974","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/churchill-inked-tide-opal-plates-black-260mm-12-pack","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
