Churchill Studio Prints Raku Oval Coupe Plates Quartz Black 270mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Studio Prints Raku range takes its name from a traditional Japanese firing technique in which unpredictable reactions during the glazing process produce distinctive, non-repeating surface patterns. Each plate carries a genuinely individual character, which gives a handcrafted feel while still being produced to consistent commercial standards. This 270mm oval coupe plate is finished in a smoky quartz black that works particularly well in contemporary and casual-dining settings.

In a busy service environment, the oval format earns its place. It suits whole flatfish, sharing starters, antipasto selections, and composed mains where the elongated shape supports a more deliberate plating approach. The coupe profile — with its gently raised rim — keeps food contained without the visual weight of a traditional lipped plate, which tends to read as cleaner on a dressed table.

From an operational standpoint, these plates are built for the demands of a working kitchen:

• Compatible with commercial dishwashers, avoiding the handling burden of hand-wash-only tableware
• Microwave-safe, supporting finishing or holding workflows where required
• Oven-safe, allowing direct plating from service ovens
• Ceramic construction at 820g per plate provides a reassuring weight without being unnecessarily heavy for front-of-house staff
• Backed by a 5-year edge chip warranty, which is a practical indicator of durability confidence from the manufacturer

The pack size of twelve suits most opening orders and makes topping up straightforward. As with all reactive-glaze tableware, no two pieces will be identical — worth factoring in if your operation requires absolute uniformity across covers.
