(Tableware Set)

[0030] The tableware set in Example 1 includes one tableware group 100 made of ceramics and the other tableware group 200. As shown in FIG. 1, the one tableware group 100 includes three coffee cups 10 (10G, 10R, 10B) which are one pieces of tableware. As shown in FIG. 2, the other tableware group 200 includes three saucers 20.

[0031] On each of surfaces of cup bodies 1 of the coffee cups 10 (10G, 10R, 10B), a gold pattern is drawn on a black background (not shown). In addition, specific colors of different colors are colored on the handles 2 which are common portions of the coffee cups 10 (10G, 10R, 10B). That is, green G, which is a specific color, is colored on the handle 2 of the coffee cup 10G, red R, which is a specific color, is colored on the handle 2 of the coffee cup 10R, and blue B, which is a specific color, is colored on the handle 2 of the coffee cup 10B.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2, patterns are drawn on the surfaces of the saucers 20 in all specific colors colored on the handles 2 which are common portions of the coffee cups 10 (10G, 10R, 10B), that is, colors including green G, red R, and blue B.

[0033] In such coffee cups 10 (10G, 10R, 10B) and the saucers 20, for example, in a case where the coffee cup 10G and the saucer 20 are combined as shown in FIG. 3, since the specific color of the green G is colored on the handle 2 which is a common portion of the coffee cup 10G, and the green G is also colored on the saucer 20, it is possible to achieve a satisfactory combination with harmonized color tones.

[0034] In addition, in a case where the coffee cup 10R and the saucer 20 are combined as shown in FIG. 4, since the specific color of the red R is colored on the handle 2 which is a common portion of the coffee cup 10R, and the red R is also colored on the saucer 20, it is possible to achieve a satisfactory combination with harmonized color tones.

[0035] The other tableware group 200 shown in FIG. 5 includes a saucer 30 on which a pattern different from that of the saucer 20 is drawn. Also in this case, the saucer 30 is colored in three colors of green G, red R, and blue B. Therefore, a satisfactory combination with a harmonized color tone can be realized by combining with any coffee cup in the one tableware group 100. As described above, the other tableware group may include a piece of tableware on which a different pattern is drawn.

[0036] Note that the tableware set in Example 1 includes one tableware group and the other tableware group made of ceramics, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and can be appropriately changed. For example, it may be made of porcelain, glass, or an arbitrary material.

[0037] Further, in Example 1, the one tableware group includes three coffee cups, and the other tableware group includes three saucers, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and can be appropriately changed. For example, any of the tableware groups may include four or more pieces of tableware, or may include two pieces of tableware. The number of coffee cups in the one tableware group may be different from the number of saucers in the other tableware group.

[0038] Further, in Example 1, the specific colors colored on the handles 2, which are common portions, are green G, red R, and blue B. However, the specific colors are not necessarily limited to green G, red R, and blue B, and can be appropriately changed. For example, yellow, gray, and black may be used, or an arbitrary color can be colored as a specific color.

(Method for Using Tableware Set)

[0039] An arbitrary coffee cup 10 is selected from the one tableware group 100 as one piece of selection tableware, and an arbitrary saucer 20 is selected from the other tableware group 200 as the other piece of selection tableware. Then, one piece of selection tableware and the other piece of selection tableware are used in combination. At this time, in the three saucers 20 in the other tableware group 200, all of the green G, the red R, and the blue B colored in the respective handles 2, which are common portions of the coffee cups 10 (10G, 10R, 10B) in the one tableware group 100, are colored, so that the color tones are harmonized, and any coffee cup 10 selected can be used in combination with the saucer 20.

[0040] In accordance with the mood of the day, one piece of selection tableware may be replaced with another coffee cup and combined with the other piece of selection tableware. On the other hand, the other piece of selection tableware to be combined with one piece of selection tableware can be replaced with another saucer to enjoy the combination. In either case, the color tones can be harmonized and the pieces of tableware can be combined satisfactorily.

[0041] As described above, in Example 1, with a tableware set including one tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware and the other tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware different from the one tableware group, in which a pattern including different specific colors is drawn on a common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group, and in which a pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn on each piece of tableware in the other tableware group, since the pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn on each piece of tableware in the other tableware group, it is possible to achieve a great effect that even if any one of one piece of tableware or the other piece of tableware is broken or chipped, the combination can be continued by selecting another piece of tableware with a harmonized color tone, and even if any one of the pieces of tableware in the one tableware group is selected and combined with an arbitrary piece of tableware in the other tableware group, the combination of pieces of tableware can be satisfied with harmonized color tones, and a combination of pieces of tableware that is not bored by changing the combination can be realized.

[0042] Further, in Example 1, with a method for using a tableware set, including: preparing a tableware set including one tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware and the other tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware different from the one tableware group, in which a pattern including different specific colors is drawn on a common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group, and in which a pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn on each piece of tableware in the other tableware group; selecting one piece of selection tableware which is an arbitrary piece of tableware from the one tableware group; selecting the other piece of selection tableware which is an arbitrary piece of tableware from the other tableware group; and using the one piece of selection tableware and the other piece of selection tableware in combination, since the pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn, it is possible to achieve a great effect that even if any one of one piece of tableware or the other piece of tableware is broken or chipped, the combination can be continued by selecting another piece of tableware with a harmonized color tone, and even if any one of the pieces of tableware in the one tableware group is selected and combined with an arbitrary piece of tableware in the other tableware group, the combination of pieces of tableware can be satisfied with harmonized color tones, and a combination of pieces of tableware that is not bored by changing the combination can be realized.

Example 2

[0043] Example 2 of the present invention is different from Example 1 in that one tableware group includes a bowl of a lid body and the other tableware group includes a lid of the lid body. Example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. FIG. 6 is a view for explaining a tableware set of Example 2 of the present invention, in which, in (a), a leaf of a Japanese apricot is colored with green G on a bowl inner surface which is a common portion, and in (b), a flower of a Japanese apricot is colored with red R on a bowl inner surface which is a common portion. FIG. 7 is a view showing a first combination example in the tableware set of Example 2 of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a view showing a second combination example in the tableware set of Example 2 of the present invention.

[0044] One tableware group 300 in Example 2 includes two bowls 40 (40G, 40R) of ceramic lid bodies (see FIGS. 6 to 8). The other tableware group 400 has two lids 50 and 60 of ceramic lid bodies (see FIGS. 6 to 8).

[0045] On bowl inner surfaces 42 (40G, 40R) of the bowls 40, there are 40G on which a pattern of a fruit of a Japanese apricot is drawn and 40R on which a pattern of a flower of a Japanese apricot is drawn. Different specific colors are colored on the bowl inner surfaces 42, which are common portions of the bowls 40 (40G, 40R). That is, green G, which is a specific color, is colored on the leaf of the Japanese apricot on the bowl inner surface 42 of the bowl 40G (see FIG. 6 (a)), and red R, which is a specific color, is colored on a flower of a Japanese apricot on the lid back surface 42 of the bowl 40R (see FIG. 6 (b)).

[0046] FIG. 7 shows the first combination example in the tableware set of Example 2 of the present invention. On the surface of the lid 50 of the lid body, a pattern of a flower of a Japanese apricot is drawn, and all specific colors colored on the bowl inner surface 42, which is a common portion of the bowls 40 (40G, 40R), that is, colors including green G and red R are colored to draw the pattern.

[0047] FIG. 8 shows the second combination example in the tableware set of Example 2 of the present invention. On a surface of a lid 60 of a lid body, a pattern of a flower of a Japanese apricot different from that of the lid 50 is drawn. In addition, all specific colors colored on the bowl inner surface 42, which is a common portion of the bowls 40 (40G, 40R), that is, colors including green G and red R are colored.

[0048] Here, all the specific colors drawn on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group 300 are colored in the other tableware group 400, and any combination can be harmonized. Further, in Example 2, since the Japanese apricots are drawn on both the one tableware group and the other tableware group, the combination is harmonized in that the theme of the Japanese apricots is common in addition to the harmony of the color tones.

[0049] Note that the tableware set in Example 2 includes one tableware group and the other tableware group made of ceramics, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and can be appropriately changed. For example, any one of the tableware groups or both of the tableware groups may be made of porcelain, glass, or an arbitrary material.

[0050] Further, in Example 2, the one tableware group includes two bowls, and the other tableware group includes two lids, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and can be appropriately changed. For example, any of the tableware groups may include three or more pieces of tableware. The number of bowls in the one tableware group may be different from the number of lids in the other tableware group. Further, the same pattern may be drawn on the two lids of the other tableware group.

[0051] Further, in Example 2, the specific colors colored on the bowl inner surfaces 42, which are common portions, are green G and red R. However, the specific colors are not necessarily limited to green G and red R, and can be appropriately changed. For example, yellow and blue may be used, or an arbitrary color can be colored as a specific color.

(Method for Using Tableware Set)

[0052] An arbitrary bowl (40G or 40R) is selected from the one tableware group 300 as one piece of selection tableware, and an arbitrary lid (50 or 60) is selected from the other tableware group 400 as the other piece of selection tableware. Then, one piece of selection tableware and the other piece of selection tableware are used in combination. At this time, in the lid 50 and the lid 60 in the other tableware group 400, green G and red R colored on the bowl inner surfaces 42 of the bowls 40 (40G, 40R), which are the common portions in the one tableware group 300, are all colored, so that a satisfactory combination can be realized with the color tone harmonized with the lid 50 and the lid 60 regardless of which bowl 40 is selected.

[0053] Further, in Example 2, the Japanese apricots are drawn on both of the one tableware group 300 and the other tableware group 400, and the theme of the Japanese apricot is common. Therefore, regardless of which bowl 40 is selected, the theme of the Japanese apricot is common, so that a satisfactory combination can be realized by harmonizing with the lid 50 and the lid 60.

[0054] In accordance with the mood of the day, one piece of selection tableware may be replaced with another bowl and combined with the other piece of selection tableware. On the other hand, the other piece of selection tableware to be combined with one piece of selection tableware can be replaced with another lid to enjoy the combination. In either case, the color tones and the themes can be harmonized and the pieces of tableware can be combined satisfactorily.

[0055] As described above, in Example 2, with a tableware set including one tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware and the other tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware different from the one tableware group, in which a pattern including different specific colors is drawn on a common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group, and in which a pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn on each piece of tableware in the other tableware group, since the pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn on each piece of tableware in the other tableware group, it is possible to achieve a great effect that even if any one of one piece of tableware or the other piece of tableware is broken or chipped, the combination can be continued by selecting another piece of tableware, and even if any one of the pieces of tableware in the one tableware group is selected and combined with an arbitrary piece of tableware in the other tableware group, the combination of pieces of tableware can be satisfied with harmonized color tones, and a combination of pieces of tableware that is not bored by changing the combination can be realized on a daily basis.

[0056] Further, in Example 2, with a method for using a tableware set, including: preparing a tableware set including one tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware and the other tableware group including a plurality of pieces of tableware different from the one tableware group, in which a pattern including different specific colors is drawn on a common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group, and in which a pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn on each piece of tableware in the other tableware group; selecting one piece of selection tableware which is an arbitrary piece of tableware from the one tableware group; selecting the other piece of selection tableware which is an arbitrary piece of tableware from the other tableware group; and using the one piece of selection tableware and the other piece of selection tableware in combination, since the pattern in which all the specific colors colored on the common portion of each piece of tableware in the one tableware group are colored is drawn on each piece of tableware in the other tableware group, it is possible to achieve a great effect that even if any one of one piece of tableware or the other piece of tableware is broken or chipped, the combination can be continued by selecting another piece of tableware, and even if any one of the pieces of tableware in the one tableware group is selected and combined with an arbitrary piece of tableware in the other tableware group, the combination of pieces of tableware can be satisfied with harmonized color tones, and a combination of pieces of tableware that is not bored by changing the combination can be realized on a daily basis.
