Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Pheasant, a popular gastropub in The Cotswolds, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their new, elevated menu which focused on locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients.
"Our food is art, and it deserved a better canvas. These Churchill Raku plates immediately elevated the look of every dish leaving the kitchen. The quality is immediately obvious to our diners."
Michael Atherton – Head Chef
The change resulted in a noticeable increase in social media shares from diners. The pub reported that customer photos of their dishes, particularly the mains served on the Raku plates, had skyrocketed, providing brilliant, organic marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates sold individually or in a set?
A: These professional-grade plates are supplied in a box of 12, ideal for kitting out or topping up your restaurant's tableware collection.
Q: What exactly does 'super vitrified' mean?
A: It's a strengthening process where the ceramic is fired at a very high temperature. This makes the plate extremely durable, less porous, and highly resistant to chips.
Q: Is the pattern on every single plate identical?
A: No, and that's the beauty of it! The kiln-reactive Raku glaze ensures that each plate has a unique, subtly different pattern, giving it an authentic, crafted feel.
Q: Can I use these plates in a commercial microwave?
A: Absolutely. They are designed to be fully microwave safe, allowing for quick and easy reheating of food without damaging the plate or the glaze.
Q: What is a 'coupe' plate?
A: It’s a modern, rimless style of plate with a gentle, shallow curve. It's a very popular shape for creating elegant food presentations, especially for dishes with sauces.
Q: How heavy is each Churchill DS569 coupe plate agate grey?
A: Each plate weighs approximately 0.69 kg, giving it a quality, substantial feel without being overly heavy for staff to carry.
Q: What is the benefit of a 'fully glazed foot'?
A: The foot is the ring on the bottom of the plate. Glazing it makes it smooth, which protects the surface of the plate below it from getting scratched when they're stacked.
Q: Is the 240mm the inner or outer diameter?
A: The 240mm (9.4") measurement is the primary listed diameter. The overall dimension from edge to edge is 255mm (10"), making it a generous size for main courses.

Explore more from ChurchillMore Than a Finish: How a Reactive Glaze Creates One-of-a-Kind Plates
Ever wondered what 'kiln-reactive glaze' actually means? It’s not just a fancy term for a pattern. Unlike a simple printed design, a reactive glaze contains different elements that react to the intense, precise heat of the kiln during firing. This reaction causes the glaze to flow, pool, and crystallise in unique ways, creating spontaneous, organic patterns across the surface of the plate.
Think of it like a natural process, similar to how a crystal forms or a wave breaks on the shore – no two are ever exactly identical. This means that while every Studio Prints agate grey deep plate shares the same exceptional quality and colour palette, each one has its own subtle, individual character. It’s how you get the reliability of mass-produced tableware with the beautiful soul of a hand-crafted, artisan piece.
