Churchill Med Tiles Oblong Plates Aquamarine 298x152mm (Pack of 12)

The Churchill Med Tiles oblong plate in Aquamarine is a front-of-house tableware piece designed for operators who want a distinctive, characterful table setting without moving away from the durability expected of commercial porcelain. The pattern draws on the aged geometric tilework found across the Mediterranean — Spain, Portugal, and North Africa — and is applied using a reactive glazing process that gives each plate a subtly individual finish. No two plates are identical, which suits an eclectic or artisan dining aesthetic well.

Made from super vitrified porcelain, these plates are built to withstand the handling, stacking, and repeated warewashing cycles that come with busy restaurant service. The material is denser and more chip-resistant than standard porcelain, which matters when plates are being turned around quickly during a full service. At 610g each, they have a reassuring weight in the hand without being impractical to carry in multiples.

The oblong format makes these plates particularly versatile for contemporary plating styles:

• Well suited to sharing plates, antipasti, and small plates menus
• Works as a signature dish plate where presentation is part of the experience
• Mixes and coordinates with other pieces in the Churchill Med Tiles range
• The reactive glaze finish adds visual interest without requiring elaborate garnish work
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for building or topping up covers

These plates require no special handling beyond standard commercial tableware care. They are dishwasher safe and compatible with normal warewashing detergents. Stack carefully — as with all decorative glazed porcelain, heavy stacking under poor conditions can cause surface wear over time.

The Med Tiles range is best suited to independent restaurants, bistros, boutique hotels, and any front-of-house environment where the visual identity of tableware forms part of the overall dining experience. It is a considered choice rather than a utility plate, so operators running high-turnover canteen or contract catering environments may find a plainer, more hardwearing option more practical.
