Charleston Oval Plate 270mm x 197mm – Blue Band by Tuxton | Pack of 12
Elevate your entrée and sharing presentations with the Tuxton Charleston Oval Plate in Blue Band — a 270mm x 197mm oval plate that brings refined elegance to professional hospitality table settings. The classic scalloped profile and deep blue banded edge echo the timeless character of the full Charleston range, in a versatile mid-size oval format suited to entrées, fish courses, and individual sharing serves.
Product Specifications
- Length: 270mm
- Width: 197mm
- Pack Quantity: 12 plates
- Material: Fully vitrified ceramic
- Finish: Blue Band edge detail
- Brand: Tuxton
- SKU: TX120232
Buyer's Guide – Choosing the Right Oval Plate for Your Venue
Oval plates add versatility and visual interest to table service. Here's how to choose the right size for your operation:
- 270mm x 197mm vs 320mm x 225mm: The 270mm oval sits between a standard entrée plate and the larger 320mm oval — ideal for entrées, fish courses, and individual protein serves where you want an oval presentation without the full scale of the larger format. Use the 320mm oval for mains and sharing platters.
- When to use an oval plate: Oval plates naturally complement horizontal plating styles — perfect for fish fillets, sliced proteins, entrée boards, and any dish where a round plate feels constraining.
- Pairing with round plates: Combine this oval with the Charleston round plates (166mm, 192mm, 230mm, 272mm) for a complete, cohesive service set across every course.
- Why vitrified ceramic: Fully vitrified ceramic is non-porous, chip-resistant, and built to handle commercial dishwashers, stacking, and the rigours of daily hospitality service without degrading.
- Classic Blue Band aesthetic: The scalloped profile and deep blue banded edge suit traditional dining rooms, fine-dining establishments, and heritage-style venues where refined table presentation is a priority.
- Pack of 12: Consistent with the rest of the Charleston oval range — easy to combine orders and manage stock across both oval sizes.
