Mismatched Dinnerware and Vessels

A deliberately mismatched set of tableware. Plates and cups on the dining table or open shelves come from different places: a few handmade rustic pottery bowls, two or three old white porcelain plates, several glass cups of different shapes. Their sizes and glazes vary, but the colors are all between white, beige, and earthy brown. Some have small chips on the edges, but are still in use. Avoid: using a complete matching set of tableware, neatly stacking and displaying vessels by size, using brightly colored or patterned tableware, making every piece look flawless and new.

一組刻意不成套的餐具。餐桌上或開放層架上的盤子與杯子來自不同的地方:幾個手作的粗陶碗、兩三只老的白瓷盤、幾個不同形狀的玻璃杯。它們的尺寸與釉色都不同,但顏色都在白、米與土褐之間。有些邊緣有小缺角,仍然在使用。避免:使用整套同款的餐具、把器皿按大小整齊疊放陳列、使用顏色鮮豔與有花紋的餐具、讓每一件都完好無瑕像新的。
