Churchill Studio Prints Raku Rectangular Plate Quartz Black 261mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Studio Prints Raku rectangular plate is a vitrified ceramic flatware piece finished in Quartz Black. It is designed for commercial food service where consistent plate presentation and day-to-day durability are both part of the brief. Sold in packs of twelve, it is a practical unit for outfitting a section or topping up an existing cover set.

Churchill's super vitrified construction handles the realities of a busy kitchen well. The material resists chipping and crazing more reliably than standard porcelain, which matters when plates are going through a commercial dishwasher multiple times per day and being handled at pace during service. The Quartz Black finish holds up against repeated thermal cycling and is less prone to showing staining than lighter colourways — a useful consideration in kitchens handling sauced dishes or heavily garnished plates.

From an operational standpoint, these plates offer several practical advantages:

• Compatible with commercial dishwashers, microwaves, and ovens
• Dark ground provides strong visual contrast for contemporary plating
• Rectangular format suits small plates, sharing dishes, and tasting menus
• Vitrified body resists chipping under regular commercial handling
• Pack-of-twelve format supports consistent cover sets across a section

There are no special installation requirements for flatware, but the rectangular profile stacks differently from round plates and will need dedicated racking or shelving in the wash area and dry store. At 1.10kg per plate, weight is worth factoring into your handling and clearing arrangements, particularly where staff are clearing multiple covers at once.

These plates are well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and similar operations where plate presentation is a deliberate part of the dining experience. For higher-volume sites running several sittings per service, it is worth thinking carefully about cover quantities and backup stock before ordering.

If you are building out a full cover set or matching these to other pieces within the Studio Prints Raku range, we are happy to talk through quantities before you commit to an order.
