Mix and Match China
Better Homes and Gardens Decorating
Like a varied guest list, a china collection is often a blend of mismatched teacups and saucers, unified by similar colors, patterns, or motifs.
Lots of pattern can be a visually overwhelming, however, so consider complementing the patterned pieces with solid color or glass plates. Or, use color-on-color plates to complement; for example, white-on-white patterns have subtle variances that add interest without changing color.
