Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Agano is an oval chef's plate finished in black with an underglaze radial design that radiates outward from the centre. The elongated shape and defined focal point give the plate a natural structure that frames plated dishes without requiring elaborate garnish work to fill the space. It is a practical choice for kitchens where presentation is a considered part of the offer rather than an afterthought.
Made from Churchill's super vitrified china, the Agano is built for regular commercial use. Super vitrified ware is appreciably more resistant to chipping and crazing than standard porcelain, which matters at a busy pass where plates move through multiple hands across consecutive services. The black decoration is applied under the glaze rather than over it, so the finish holds up reliably through commercial dishwasher cycling without the fading or dulling that affects surface-applied colour over time.
In day-to-day service, this plate works well for starters, fish courses, and smaller composed mains where a linear plating approach suits the dish. Key practical points worth noting:
- Underglaze decoration withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without fading
- Super vitrified construction reduces chipping and lowers replacement frequency
- Oval format suits linear plating across starters, fish, and composed small plates
- Consistent sizing across each pack supports uniform presentation at the pass
- Stackable profile keeps storage manageable in a working kitchen environment
Sold in packs of twelve, the Agano suits initial range builds or topping up existing stock. Kitchens covering larger covers or multiple sittings should think through total plate volumes before ordering. The Agano design sits within Churchill's broader Studio Prints collection, which spans a range of shapes and sizes, making it straightforward to build a coordinated table setting from a single range.
If you are putting together a new tableware range or matching into an existing Studio Prints scheme, the team are happy to talk through which shapes and pack quantities suit your cover count and service style.

Frequently Asked Questions
- As a general guide, most kitchens aim for two to three times their seated cover count to allow for dishwasher turnaround during service. For a 40-cover restaurant running one sitting, a starting stock of two to three packs of twelve would be a reasonable baseline, though services with tighter turnaround times or multiple sittings may need more. It is worth mapping out your full course structure and dishwasher cycle time before committing to a final quantity.
- Because the decoration is applied under the glaze rather than on top of it, the finish is well protected from the detergent and heat exposure involved in commercial dishwashing cycles. Super vitrified china is also more resistant to surface crazing than standard porcelain, which helps the plate maintain a clean appearance over time. That said, impact damage from rough handling at the pass will affect any plate, so correct racking and stacking discipline still matters.
- The oval format is versatile enough to work across a range of smaller plated courses, including pre-dessert or amuse-bouche in a tasting menu context. It is less well suited to larger main course portions where a round plate with more surface area would give more plating flexibility. If you are building a full table setting, the Studio Prints range includes other shapes that complement the Agano for mains and sharing plates.
