Churchill Raku Round Dish Quartz Black (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Raku Round Dish in Quartz Black is a serving dish from Churchill's Raku collection, available in 160mm and 185mm sizes. Each piece carries a reactive glaze finish that produces natural tonal variation during firing, meaning no two dishes come out identically. That characteristic suits contemporary plating styles where a handcrafted, artisan quality is part of the presentation rather than an afterthought.

Construction is super vitrified ceramic, which is meaningfully denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware or stoneware. In a busy kitchen where crockery is constantly handled, stacked, and cycled through a commercial dishwasher across multiple sittings, that additional durability translates directly into lower breakage rates and a longer working life from each piece. The glaze holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without noticeable dulling.

Choose between the two sizes. The small-format 160mm dish lends itself to amuse-bouche, side dishes, condiment or sauce portions, small sharing elements, or tasting course components. At 185mm across, the larger dish works well as a starter plate, a sharing dish, or a side in both plated and shared-dining formats. Both work across most cuisine types without looking out of place.

It is worth calculating your order quantity against your cover count and washing cycle frequency. Operators running two or more sittings typically need sufficient stock to keep a full float in circulation while a previous batch is going through the wash. 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.

If you are specifying tableware across several formats or want help working out quantities for your cover count, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
