I don’t call anything a “baking tin”. I have “pie plates”, some of which are pyrex, some of which are ceramic, and some of which are metal. So I wasn’t sure how someone who used the word “baking tin” would define it.

Ah, dialects are fun! To me, a “pie plate” is a little plate that a piece of pie is served on to be eaten.

Ah, to me, that’s a “dessert plate”. Or just a “plate”, or a “small plate”.

My formal china has dessert plates and salad plates. My everyday china just has large plates and small plates. Both also have saucers.

And baking tin is a round metal dish that is usually a dark gray. Pie tin is a shiny metal dish that is also round but the sides are a little bit less angled.
