Churchill Med Tiles Oblong Plates Aquamarine 352x187mm (Pack of 6)

The Churchill Med Tiles Oblong Plate in Aquamarine is a large-format serving plate made from super vitrified porcelain. The surface pattern draws on the geometric motifs of antique Moorish tilework — the kind found across Spain, Portugal and North Africa — rendered with a reactive glaze that gives each piece a subtly individual finish. That variation is intentional and part of the design; it is not a consistency issue.

Super vitrified porcelain is a denser, harder-wearing material than standard porcelain, and it holds up well in regular commercial service. The construction offers better resistance to chipping along rims and edges, which matters when plates are cycling through dishwashers and handled daily by kitchen and floor staff. At just under a kilogram per plate, there is a reassuring solidity to these in the hand without being unwieldy to carry.

The oblong format suits a range of contemporary presentation styles:

• Sharing plates and informal grazing-style starters
• Composed main courses where plating space and visual framing matter
• Antipasti, charcuterie or small-plates menus
• Pairing with other Med Tiles pieces for a coordinated table setting

One practical consideration worth noting: the oblong shape does not stack as efficiently as round plates of a similar footprint. If shelving or back-of-house storage is already tight, it is worth planning for that before ordering in volume. The pack-of-six format is well suited to topping up an existing set or trialling the range ahead of a larger commitment.

These plates are a natural fit for independent restaurants, boutique hotels, café-bars and informal dining venues looking to add visual character to their tableware while staying within a proven commercial range. If you are putting together a broader table setting or want to understand how the Med Tiles collection works alongside other Churchill ranges, we are glad to help you think it through.
