Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch, a Mediterranean tapas bar in York, recently switched from plain white round plates to these Raku Jade Green rectangular plates. They wanted their vibrant dishes to have a more memorable and photogenic canvas that matched their rustic-modern decor.
"The moment we started using these, our food presentation went up a gear. The colour makes our dishes look incredible, and customers are constantly commenting on them. They feel special, and that’s the experience we want to provide."
Leo Carter – Head Chef
The restaurant reported a noticeable uptick in social media shares from diners, helping to boost their online visibility and attract new customers organically.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust.
- Brief your team on the new plates, noting their shape and quality to ensure careful handling.
Keeping Them Looking Great
- These plates are dishwasher safe, so use a standard cycle for efficient cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh metal scrapers to remove stubborn food. A good soak is much kinder.
- When stacking, the fully glazed foot helps prevent scratches, but always stack neatly and avoid over-stacking to prevent chipping.
- Regularly check for any chips or cracks and remove any damaged items from service immediately to maintain safety standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'vitrified porcelain' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature, which makes it incredibly strong, dense, and non-porous. This prevents it from absorbing moisture or odours and makes it highly resistant to chipping.
Q: Will the pattern fade or scratch off over time?
A: No. These plates use an 'underglaze' technique, meaning the pattern is applied before the final protective glaze. It's sealed in, so it won't fade or be damaged by cutlery or washing.
Q: Are these plates microwave safe?
A: Yes, Churchill's professional vitrified hotelware is designed to be safe for use in microwaves, allowing for quick reheating when needed.
Q: Is every single plate identical?
A: No, and that's part of their charm! They are finished with a reactive glaze, which means there are subtle, unique variations in the pattern and colour of each plate, giving them a handcrafted feel.
Q: How resistant are they to chipping on the edges?
A: Churchill vitrified porcelain is known for its excellent chip resistance, especially compared to standard earthenware. They are specifically designed to withstand the knocks of a commercial environment.
Q: What kinds of dishes are these rectangular plates best for?
A: They're incredibly versatile! They are perfect for serving sharing platters, tapas, a flight of appetisers, sushi, or long desserts like a torte or parfait.
Q: What does a 'fully glazed foot' do?
A: The 'foot' is the ring on the bottom of the plate. When it's fully glazed and smooth, it prevents the rough bottom of one plate from scratching the decorated surface of the plate it's stacked on.
Q: Can I buy these plates individually?
A: This specific product, SKU DW405, is sold in a box of 12, which is ideal for professional establishments needing to ensure consistency across their service.

Explore more from ChurchillWhy an 'Underglaze Decoration' Matters
Ever had plates where a lovely pattern starts to fade, scratch, or wear away after a few months of heavy use and washing? That’s often because the pattern is applied on top of the final glaze. Churchill's 'underglaze decoration' solves this problem entirely. The beautiful Raku Jade Green pattern is applied to the porcelain *before* the final, super-tough transparent glaze is added and fired.
Think of it like a precious photo sealed safely behind a strong pane of glass. No matter how many times you wash it or how much cutlery scrapes across it, the image underneath remains perfectly protected and vibrant. This means your Churchill Studio Prints plates will look as stunning on their 500th service as they did on their first, ensuring your investment continues to pay off.
