Why this plate earns its place
A 165 mm side plate reads larger than its spec on a white cloth. The topaz blue—a warm, muted blue—catches enough light to photograph without flattening on white linen. Churchill's Raku collection sits between tableware and design object, which matters when plates spend more time visible than in the wash.
Porcelain is the standard for commercial dining because it survives hot wash and alkaline detergent without yellowing. This range is glazed on the body itself, not just the rim, so chipping risks are distributed. A 165 mm plate stacks predictably in a crate—twelve packs fit a standard tray with room to lift without fumbling. The weight distribution keeps them from sliding during service or transport.
Use these for starter courses, bread stations, or side servings. The dimension works across plated appetisers and small courses without reading too sparse. Three or four fit a standard round table setting without crowding the cover.
