Churchill Stone Quartz Black Lotus Plate (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Stone Quartz Black Lotus plate is part of the Studio Prints Stone range, a collection designed to reference the aesthetic of hand-carved natural stone ceramics. The Black Lotus colourway provides a deep, textured appearance and a strong, neutral contrast that works across a range of plating styles. Available in three sizes: 177mm, 228mm and 254mm.

Made from super vitrified ceramic and manufactured in the UK, these plates are built to withstand the demands of regular commercial service. Super vitrified ceramic offers a harder, more chip-resistant body than standard porcelain, which matters in busy kitchens where plates go through high-volume wash cycles and everyday handling. The finish holds up consistently over time, which helps maintain a uniform look across a table setting even after extended use.

Operationally, the Stone Quartz range offers a few practical advantages for front-of-house teams:

• Consistent glaze and pattern from piece to piece, supporting a uniform table presentation
• Chip-resistant super vitrified body reduces breakage rates over time
• Dishwasher safe for high-volume wash cycles without significant finish degradation
• Neutral colourway suits a wide range of menu styles and plating approaches
• Sold in packs of 12 for straightforward stock management

Choosing a size:

• 177mm: a smaller plate format, well suited to side dishes, starters and dessert presentation. It is not intended as a main course plate
• 228mm: sits comfortably as a starter, side or dessert plate
• 254mm: the largest size in the range, for operators building out a full cover set

The Black Lotus finish, while hardwearing, will show scratching under heavy cutlery use over time. This is common to most dark-glazed ceramics and worth factoring in when planning replacement cycles. Weights for each size are listed in the specifications.

These plates are a practical choice for restaurants, bistros, hotels and hospitality venues looking for a contemporary tableware style with reliable durability. If you are building a full cover set or are unsure which sizes best suit your menu, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
