The Copper Kettle Tearoom in Bakewell, Derbyshire, decided their old, chipped white porcelain wasn't reflecting their commitment to quality local baking. They invested in the Churchill Stonecast range to create a more cohesive and upmarket look for their afternoon tea service.
"The moment we switched, the feedback was incredible. Customers constantly comment on how lovely the teapots are. They feel solid and premium, which is exactly the impression we want to give. Our photos on social media look so much better now!"
Stephen Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle Tearoom
The upgrade directly contributed to a more 'Instagrammable' afternoon tea, leading to a noticeable increase in customer photos and online engagement.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat 'Super Vitrified' Really Means for Your Tableware
Ever wonder what 'Super Vitrified' actually means? It's not just marketing jargon. Vitrification is a process where the ceramic is fired at an incredibly high temperature until the clay body becomes glass-like and non-porous. Think of it like giving the teapot a suit of armour from the inside out. This means it doesn't absorb water, flavours, or odours, even after years of use. More importantly, it gives the pot exceptional strength, making it far more resistant to the chips and cracks that plague standard ceramics in a busy kitchen. It’s the secret behind tableware that looks delicate but acts tough.
