Product Description
The Churchill Vellum coupe plate is a large-format flat plate finished in a semi-matte white glaze. The coupe profile — rimless, with a smooth continuous curve from centre to edge — gives a clean, contemporary presentation surface that works well with modern plating styles across a wide range of cuisines. It sits within Churchill's Vellum collection, which pairs classic white with a subtly textured glaze finish that falls between fully matte and fully gloss, giving each piece a quiet visual character without departing from the neutral base most kitchens require.
Made from Churchill's super vitrified porcelain, this is a noticeably denser and harder body than standard porcelain. In practical terms, that translates to better chip resistance at the rim — the point where commercial crockery most commonly fails during service and handling. The semi-matte glaze holds up well through repeated high-volume dishwasher cycles and does not show the gloss degradation that can affect more highly polished finishes over time.
At this diameter, the plate is well suited to main course service in restaurant and hotel dining, or to sharing and feature plates in more casual formats. The rimless coupe format gives chefs the full surface to work with, which is particularly useful for structured plating where a conventional rim would reduce the usable area.
- Coupe profile provides maximum usable surface for structured plating
- Semi-matte glaze adds visual texture without compromising cleanability
- Super vitrified construction improves chip resistance in daily service
- Consistent white finish suits a broad range of food styles and cuisines
- Sold in boxes of 12, practical for building or topping up cover counts
This plate is most at home in operations running a full à la carte menu. For lighter courses or side plates, smaller sizes within the Vellum range are likely a better fit. If you are building a full cover set or matching existing Vellum pieces, it is worth getting in touch to discuss quantities and confirm current availability before placing an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A common starting point is three plates per cover to allow for plates in service, in the wash, and in reserve — so a 40-cover restaurant would typically hold around 120 plates as a working stock. High-turnover operations or those running multiple sittings per service may want to hold more. It is worth factoring in breakage rates when planning initial quantities.
- Yes. The super vitrified porcelain body and semi-matte glaze are both well suited to the demands of commercial glasswashers and dishwashers running at high cycle volumes. Unlike some fully matte finishes, the Vellum glaze resists staining and cleans reliably without requiring special detergents or lower-temperature cycles.
- Yes — the Vellum range is designed as a coordinated collection, so starters, mains, and dessert plates share the same glaze finish and white tone. This makes it straightforward to build a matching cover set across multiple sizes, or to add plates to an existing Vellum set without a noticeable difference in appearance.
