Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Kintsugi Lotus Plate in Agate Grey is a side or starter plate designed for operators who want to bring considered tabletop styling into their food presentation without compromising on durability. The Kintsugi design draws on the Japanese tradition of repairing broken objects with gold, reinterpreted here as a decorative surface pattern that sits confidently on contemporary and transitional table settings alike. Plates are supplied in packs of twelve, suited to restaurant, hotel, and bistro operations.
Made from Churchill's super vitrified ceramic, these plates are built to withstand the rigours of a busy commercial environment. Super vitrified ceramic is a denser, harder-wearing body than standard porcelain, offering better resistance to chipping and crazing over repeated wash cycles — a practical consideration for any site running high-volume covers through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher.
Key practical characteristics include:
- Super vitrified ceramic construction — stronger and more chip-resistant than standard porcelain
- Decorative Kintsugi pattern suitable for both plated starters and side presentations
- Consistent glaze and print quality across the pack, supporting uniform table presentation
- Compatible with commercial dishwasher cycles without significant glaze deterioration
- Part of the wider Churchill Studio Prints range, making it straightforward to mix and complement with other pieces in the collection
At 177mm, this is a side or small starter plate rather than a main course plate. It is well suited to tasting menus, pre-set side covers, bread service, or small plated starters. Operators needing a full main plate presentation within the same Studio Prints range should consider the larger sizes available in the collection. Pack sizing of twelve is appropriate for smaller operations or for supplementing an existing set; higher-volume sites may wish to order multiple packs to ensure adequate cover counts with buffer stock for breakages.
If you are building a cohesive tabletop scheme across multiple plate sizes or courses, our team is happy to talk through what works well together — feel free to get in touch before placing a larger order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Super vitrified ceramic is specifically formulated for the demands of commercial warewashing, offering better resistance to thermal shock and glaze degradation than standard porcelain. The printed Kintsugi decoration is applied and fired to withstand regular high-temperature wash cycles, though as with any decorated ware, avoiding overly aggressive detergents will help preserve the finish over time.
- That depends on your cover count, service style, and how quickly your kitchen turns tables. As a general guide, most operators aim for one and a half to two times their seated cover count to allow for plates in use, in the wash, and a buffer for breakages. For a 40-cover restaurant using these as a starter or side plate, two to three packs would be a reasonable starting point.
- Yes, the Studio Prints range is designed so that different patterns and sizes can be used alongside one another on the same table setting. The Agate Grey colourway works particularly well in schemes where operators are mixing textures and tones across courses. If you are planning a broader tabletop scheme, it is worth discussing the full range with us to make sure the pieces work cohesively together.
