- A Point to Note: The matching saucers are sold separately, so be sure to factor them into your order.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a busy seaside café in Brighton, East Sussex, was struggling with constantly replacing their chipped and mismatched crockery, which was impacting both costs and presentation.
"We switched to the Churchill Alchemy Ambience porcelain tea cups six months ago and the difference is incredible. They look so professional, they feel great, and they’ve survived our relentless daily service and dishwasher cycles without a single mark. Our regulars have noticed the upgrade!"
Michael Davies – Manager, The Copper Kettle
The switch has improved table presentation and cut their crockery replacement budget by nearly 60%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each cup for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before the first use, run the cups through a dishwasher cycle or wash by hand to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- Make sure your shelves are clean and dry before stacking to maintain hygiene from the get-go.
- If you've bought the matching saucers (CD396), it's a good idea to pair them up now, ready for service.
Keeping It Going
- These cups are built for commercial dishwashers, so use them with confidence for the most effective clean.
- Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or sharp cutlery inside the cups to protect the glaze from scratches.
- While they are designed to be stackable, always stack with care to minimise the risk of accidental knocks.
- Periodically check your stock and remove any items that have become cracked or chipped from service immediately.

Explore more from ChurchillWhy a 'Vitrified' Body Makes All the Difference
You'll often see the word 'vitrified' on commercial-grade crockery, but what does it actually mean for your business? In simple terms, vitrification is a strengthening process. The porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the material to become glass-like, or 'vitreous'. This closes up all the tiny pores in the clay.
Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a glass marble. A sponge soaks up everything, but nothing gets inside the marble. Because a vitrified cup is non-porous, it won't absorb water, flavours, or odours, which makes it far more hygienic. More importantly, this process makes the cup incredibly strong and resistant to the thermal shock of a dishwasher and the everyday knocks that cause chipping. It's the secret ingredient that ensures your investment lasts longer.
