Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Raku oval plate is a 347mm super vitrified plate finished in a deep topaz blue reactive glaze. The underglaze print process creates a subtle raised texture across the surface, giving each plate a slightly individual character without any two being identical in tone. Because the print sits beneath the glaze rather than on top of it, the colour and texture are protected through repeated commercial wash cycles rather than lifting or fading over time.
Super vitrified construction is the practical baseline for any plate working through a busy kitchen pass and commercial dishwasher rotation. The denser body resists chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware, which matters when plates are handled at volume across multiple services a day. The oval format gives chefs a little additional length to work with — useful for composed starters, sharing plates, or main courses where presentation benefits from some linear space without the plate becoming unwieldy on the table.
- Super vitrified body resists chipping and crazing under regular commercial service
- Underglaze reactive print holds colour and texture through repeated dishwasher cycles
- Oval format suits composed plating, sharing dishes, and starter courses
- Dishwasher and microwave safe for flexible kitchen workflow
- Supplied in a pack of six, practical for cover-based quantity planning
This plate is well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and café-restaurants where tableware contributes to the overall dining experience. The topaz blue glaze works naturally alongside seafood menus and coastal settings, though it reads equally well in contemporary urban dining rooms. Operators running higher cover numbers should factor in attrition and order in sufficient multiples from the outset.
If you are building a tableware scheme or want to discuss quantities and mix-and-match options within the Churchill range, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A general starting point is three plates per cover to allow for plates in service, in the wash cycle, and in reserve — so a 30-cover site would typically want at least 15 packs as a working stock. Super vitrified construction does reduce attrition, but building in some buffer from the outset avoids gaps in matching stock later. If you want help calculating quantities based on your cover numbers and service pattern, the team is happy to advise.
- Because the colour is applied as an underglaze print and then fired beneath the surface glaze, it is not exposed to the mechanical and chemical action of dishwashing in the way an overglaze or on-glaze decoration would be. In normal commercial use the colour should remain stable over time. Reactive glazes do have some natural variation between plates from the outset, which is characteristic of the range rather than a quality concern.
- Yes, the plates are both dishwasher and microwave safe, which gives kitchens flexibility in how they use them across service. They are not intended for direct oven or salamander use, so if finishing dishes under heat is part of your workflow it is worth checking that separately against your specific service requirements.
