Churchill Stonecast Aqueous Lotus Plates Grey 178mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Stonecast Aqueous Lotus plate is a 178mm piece from Churchill's Aqueous collection, finished in a grey pooling glaze that shifts between lighter and darker tones across the surface. Each plate is hand-glazed individually, which means no two are identical — this is a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a quality inconsistency, and it tends to read well on a laid table. The gently bowled profile makes the plate more versatile than a flat plate of the same diameter, giving it the depth needed for sauced, portioned, or composed dishes without the risk of spillage at the pass.

Constructed from super vitrified porcelain, the plate is built for the demands of commercial service. This material resists chipping and crazing better than standard porcelain, which matters considerably on a piece cycling through service and a commercial dishwasher hundreds of times. The hand-glaze process also helps the grey pooling effect hold its depth over repeated washing rather than fading to a flat, uniform tone.

• Individual hand-glazing gives each plate a naturally distinct, considered finish
• Bowled profile suits sauced, portioned, and composed plating styles
• Super vitrified porcelain construction withstands heavy commercial dishwasher use
• Grey pooling glaze complements both pale and richly coloured ingredients
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for building or topping up cover counts

At 178mm this is a smaller plate, well suited to starters, sides, desserts, and small plate or sharing menus. It works across a wide range of settings, from casual dining through to more considered plating environments. Operators running higher cover counts may want to consider additional pack quantities or larger sizes within the Stonecast Aqueous range to keep pace with service.

If you're working out which sizes and quantities suit your covers and menu style, the team is happy to talk it through.
