Product Description
The Churchill Studio Prints Raku Trace Plate in Topaz Blue is a round side, starter, or bread plate from Churchill's Studio Prints range. The Raku pattern takes its visual cues from Japanese pottery traditions, using an inked trace design in topaz blue against a white ground. The result is a considered, understated aesthetic that sits comfortably across a range of dining styles, from relaxed bistro service to more formal hotel dining.
The practical foundation of this plate is Churchill's super vitrified body — a fired-density construction that produces a significantly harder, more chip-resistant ceramic than standard porcelain. In a commercial environment where plates are stacked repeatedly, handled at pace, and cycled through commercial dishwashers multiple times each service, that additional density makes a genuine difference to how long a cover set remains presentable and intact. The glaze construction also supports consistent colour retention, so the topaz blue pattern holds its appearance through heavy wash cycles rather than fading over time.
- Super vitrified body reduces chipping and lowers replacement frequency in busy service
- Dishwasher-safe and compatible with commercial warewashers
- Stable glaze finish maintains uniform presentation across a full cover set
- Stacks reliably, supporting efficient storage and front-of-house handling
- Sold in twelves, suited to building or topping up cover quantities as needed
These plates need no special handling beyond standard crockery care. As with any patterned tableware, avoiding metal scourers and abrasive cleaners will help preserve the surface finish over time. The 186mm size works as a side plate, bread plate, or starter plate depending on the menu format, and Churchill produce complementary pieces within the Raku Topaz Blue pattern for operators building a full place setting.
This plate is well suited to restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and contract catering operations where decorative tableware needs to hold up to the demands of daily service. If you are building a cover set from scratch or matching into existing tableware, the team are happy to talk through quantities or pattern compatibility before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Super vitrification is a high-temperature firing process that increases the density of the ceramic body, making it significantly more resistant to chipping than standard porcelain. In practice this means plates are better able to withstand the stacking, handling, and warewashing cycles that are routine in commercial kitchens, which tends to extend the working life of a cover set and reduce the frequency of replacement.
- At 186mm, this plate sits comfortably in both roles depending on your menu format. It works well as a side or bread plate alongside a main, and is a practical size for a light starter or amuse-bouche presentation. If your starter portions are more substantial, it is worth considering whether a larger plate from the Raku range would give your kitchen more flexibility.
- Yes — Churchill produce a range of complementary pieces within the Studio Prints Raku Topaz Blue pattern, including larger plates and other tableware formats. If you are building a full place setting or need to match into an existing cover, the team can help confirm which pieces are available and check current stock before you place an order.
