Churchill Studio Prints Raku Agate Grey Coupe Plates 217mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Studio Prints Raku range sits within Churchill's broader Studio Prints collection and is built around a kiln-reactive glaze process. Because the glaze responds unpredictably during firing, each plate carries its own variation of tone and surface texture within the Agate Grey palette. The practical result is a handcrafted appearance delivered with the consistency and durability of commercially produced ware — no two pieces are identical, but every piece is fit for a professional service environment.

The super vitrified ceramic construction is denser and harder than standard vitrified china, which directly affects how these plates hold up under heavy daily use. Better resistance to edge chipping and surface crazing over time means lower replacement rates, and Churchill's five-year edge chip warranty reflects the confidence behind that claim. The plates are suitable for commercial dishwashers, microwave use, and oven finishing, which gives operators flexibility across different service styles and kitchen setups.

From a practical standpoint, the Agate Grey colourway acts as a neutral, textured backdrop that works across a wide range of plating approaches — whether the menu is rustic, modern, or ingredient-led. The coupe profile keeps the rim minimal, giving chefs an uninterrupted plating surface and stacking cleanly in racks or on shelving.

At 217mm this plate is well suited to starters, sides, or smaller sharing portions. The Raku range spans a broader size run, so if you are building a full cover or specifying across courses, it is worth confirming how the sizes work together before committing to volume. The Agate Grey colourway is consistent across the range, which helps when mixing sizes on the table.

If you are putting together a full tableware specification or want to talk through how Raku fits within a wider table scheme, the team is glad to help you work through it.
