Churchill Stonecast Aqueous Lotus Plates Grey (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Stonecast Aqueous Lotus plate is a bowled plate from Churchill's Stonecast Aqueous collection, available in 178mm, 229mm and 254mm sizes. Each plate is finished in a grey pooling glaze that shifts between lighter and darker tones across the surface. Every plate is hand-glazed individually, so no two are identical. This is a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a production inconsistency.

The bowled profile gives the depth needed for sauced, portioned or composed dishes, and the grey glaze works as a neutral backdrop that lets the colour of the food read clearly. The plates are made from super vitrified porcelain, a denser material than standard porcelain that resists chipping and crazing through repeated stacking, handling and commercial dishwasher cycles.

• Individual hand-glazing gives each plate a naturally distinct finish
• Bowled profile suits sauced, portioned and composed plating styles
• Super vitrified porcelain 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

Choose the size to suit the course. The 178mm plate is a smaller size, well suited to starters, sides, desserts and small plate or sharing menus. The 229mm plate suits a starter or pasta course in a multi-course format, or a main plate where portions are moderate, and handles dishes with a little depth such as pasta, risotto, curries and stews. The 254mm plate is a coupe-profile plate for main course service across casual and more formal restaurant environments, practical for pasta, rice-based dishes, curries and composed mains.

Because the glaze is applied by hand, hand-glazed ranges can show variation between production batches over time. If you are planning cover quantities or building a full table setting around the Stonecast Aqueous range, the team is happy to talk it through.
