Product Description
The Churchill Raku Duo Agate Evolve Coupe Plate in Topaz is a 219mm round plate from Churchill's Studio Prints Raku range, supplied in a pack of twelve. It is manufactured in the UK from super vitrified china, and takes its visual character from the traditional Raku firing process — a Japanese technique known for producing expressive, organic surface effects. Churchill replicates this aesthetic using a precision print process in which the decoration is applied beneath the glaze, creating a protected finish that retains its appearance under repeated commercial use.
In a hospitality environment, the durability of tableware is as important as its appearance. Super vitrified construction gives these plates a higher resistance to chipping and cracking compared with standard vitrified alternatives, which is a meaningful consideration in any operation where plates are handled at volume and put through commercial dishwashers on a daily basis. The under-glaze print process means the decorative surface is not exposed to abrasion in the same way as on-glaze decoration, helping the pattern remain consistent over the plate's service life.
- Under-glaze decoration protected from surface wear and dishwasher abrasion
- Super vitrified body offers greater chip resistance in high-throughput service
- UK-manufactured to consistent dimensional and quality tolerances
- Artisan Raku aesthetic suited to contemporary and informal dining formats
- Supplied in a pack of twelve, suited to consistent table covers or mise en place
These plates are well suited to casual dining restaurants, bistros, boutique hotels, and any operation looking for tableware that carries a considered, handcrafted appearance without the fragility of genuine artisan ceramics. The 219mm diameter positions them comfortably as a starter, side, or dessert plate in most cover settings, though they can also serve as a smaller main plate depending on the menu format.
If you are building out a full table setting or need guidance on matching pieces within the Raku Duo range, our team is happy to help you work through the options before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Because the decoration sits beneath the glaze rather than on top of it, the printed surface is shielded from the mechanical abrasion that occurs during stacking, handling, and commercial dishwasher cycles. In practice this means the pattern is less likely to fade or wear unevenly over time compared with on-glaze or transfer-decorated alternatives, which is a relevant consideration for any operation cycling plates at volume.
- Super vitrified china undergoes a denser firing process that reduces porosity and increases the hardness of the body, which translates to better resistance to chipping along the rim — the most common point of damage in commercial service. It will not eliminate breakage entirely, but operators typically see a longer service life per plate compared with standard vitrified equivalents, which can have a measurable effect on replacement costs over time.
- The Raku Duo Agate range includes a number of complementary pieces across different plate sizes, bowls, and serving formats, so it is possible to build a coordinated table setting within the collection. If you are specifying tableware across multiple cover sizes or courses, it is worth speaking with our team to confirm which pieces are currently available and to make sure the quantities work for your cover count.
