Churchill Raku Round Dish Quartz Black 185mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Raku Round Dish in Quartz Black is a super vitrified ceramic serving dish designed for professional hospitality use. The reactive glaze firing process gives each piece subtle natural variation in tone and surface texture, producing a handcrafted aesthetic while still meeting consistent commercial production standards. At 185mm across, it works well as a starter plate, a sharing dish, or a side in both plated and shared-dining formats.

Super vitrified construction makes the body considerably harder and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware or stoneware — a meaningful difference on a busy pass or in high-turnover table service. The glaze holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without noticeable dulling, and the dishes are microwave safe, which adds flexibility for certain service styles. Despite the tactile, reactive surface, food release is straightforward and the finish does not carry recessed textures that would trap residue or complicate cleaning.

• Reactive glaze creates natural variation — suits contemporary plating without bespoke crockery
• Super vitrified body resists chipping through repeated stacking and service handling
• Dishwasher and microwave safe for flexible front-of-house use
• Consistent sizing supports uniform portion presentation across covers
• Pack of 12 allows incremental stock-building by cover count

No special handling or storage is required beyond standard crockery practice. The pack of 12 format suits operators building out a range gradually or replacing breakages within an existing Raku collection. For sites running multiple sittings at volume, it is worth calculating how many covers you need to run simultaneously before settling on a quantity — the team can help with that if useful.

This dish is well suited to restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and casual dining concepts looking for a contemporary, tactile aesthetic. The Raku range spans multiple shapes and sizes, so if you are developing a coordinated table setting across courses, it is worth exploring the broader collection before specifying individual pieces.

If you are tableware-speccing across a full dining concept or want guidance on quantities relative to your cover count and wash cycle, we are glad to help you work through it.
