Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a coastal seafood bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, decided to replace their ageing white tableware to better reflect their fresh, modern menu and seaside location.
"Our food is all about colour and freshness, and the old plates just weren't doing it justice. These Churchill Topaz Blue plates reflect the sea and make our scallops and sea bass dishes look absolutely incredible. Customers are always commenting on them, and they look fantastic on our Instagram feed."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The bistro noted that since introducing the new tableware, their social media posts featuring the plates receive approximately 25% more likes and shares, boosting their online visibility.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Before the first use, give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand to remove any dust.
- Ensure you have adequate and stable shelving for storage, ideally with non-slip liners.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe. Use a professional-grade detergent for best results.
- When stacking, avoid sliding plates over one another to protect the glazed surface. Lift and place them carefully.
- Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the unique Raku glaze over time.
- Although tough, avoid dropping them or subjecting them to extreme, sudden temperature changes to ensure a long life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is every plate identical?
A: No, and that's the beauty of it. The Raku reactive glaze means each piece has a unique pattern and subtle variations, giving it an authentic, hand-crafted feel.
Q: What does 'vitrified' mean?
A: It means the ceramic has been fired at a very high temperature to make it non-porous, incredibly strong, and resistant to chipping, moisture, and odours.
Q: Can I use serrated steak knives on these plates?
A: While the glaze is extremely hard, we recommend avoiding aggressive use of serrated knives to prevent any potential scratching over the long term.
Q: How well do these Churchill Studio Prints Topaz Blue rectangular plates stack?
A: They are designed for professional kitchens and stack securely. Their uniform shape allows for stable, space-saving storage.
Q: Is the blue colour likely to fade over time?
A: No, the colour is protected by a tough, sealed glaze. It is designed to withstand thousands of dishwasher cycles without fading.
Q: Are these plates heavy?
A: At 0.45kg, they have a reassuring heft that communicates quality without being uncomfortably heavy for service staff to carry.
Q: Are they sold individually?
A: This product, SKU CY902, is supplied in a box of 12, which is ideal for professional kitting out and ensures consistency across your service.
Q: What kind of cuisine is this shape best for?

Explore more from ChurchillWhat 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Business
Ever wondered what makes professional crockery so much tougher than the plates you have at home? The secret is often 'vitrification'. Think of it like this: during manufacturing, the ceramic is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay body becomes glass-like and sealed. This process closes up all the tiny pores in the material.
So, what's the real-world benefit? A fully vitrified plate is non-porous. It won't absorb water, grease, or odours from food, which makes it far more hygienic and resistant to stains. More importantly, this dense, glass-like structure gives it superior strength against chipping and thermal shock (going from hot to cold). It's the reason a Churchill plate can handle an oven, a busy service, and a commercial dishwasher day in, day out.
Who Should Buy This?
- Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for presenting signature appetisers or desserts with a touch of exclusive, artistic flair.
- Boutique Hotels: Adds a layer of luxury and distinctiveness to room service trays or the hotel restaurant.
- Modern Sushi Bars: The shape and deep blue colour beautifully complement vibrant sushi and sashimi creations.
- Upscale Vegan Eateries: Provides a rich, colourful canvas that makes plant-based dishes look exceptionally vibrant and appealing.
