Churchill Stonecast Aqueous Coupe Plates Bayou Taupe (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Stonecast Aqueous range is a collection of porcelain coupe plates finished with a reactive glaze that shifts and pools in tone towards the centre of the plate. The Bayou Taupe colourway is earthy and muted, part of a water-inspired palette that sits comfortably on the table without competing with the food. These plates are available in four sizes: 165mm, 217mm, 260mm and 288mm. Choose your size above. Each size is supplied in a pack of twelve.

The coupe form, shallow and rimless, gives chefs a clean canvas that works well with composed plates where sauces and garnishes sit close to the food rather than being contained by a raised rim.

In day-to-day service, the porcelain construction handles the demands of a professional kitchen. Practical points worth noting:

• Dishwasher safe and suited to high-cycle commercial warewashing
• Microwave safe, which adds flexibility for regen and plate finishing
• Glazed foot reduces surface scratching when stacking during service and storage
• Reactive glaze means some tonal variation between pieces is expected and inherent to the range

Which size to choose:

• 165mm: starters, amuse-bouches, side dishes, small desserts and sharing portions.
• 217mm: starters, light mains and sharing dishes in casual dining, bistro and restaurant settings.
• 260mm: a full main-course plate with enough surface area for composed dishes where presentation space matters.
• 288mm: a full main-course plate with space around the food, which is increasingly part of the presentation in contemporary dining.

Minor variation in colour between individual pieces is part of the handcrafted character of the range rather than a quality concern. These plates suit independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, bistros, gastropubs and café operations that want a considered alternative to plain white crockery. If you are specifying crockery across a full table setting or working out quantities across a site, the team is happy to talk through what works best for your operation.
