Having a concave engaging portion for engaging with the opening, and having a convex engaging portion on the back side capable of receiving the opening of the cup having a different diameter by engaging the opening inside or outside. If so, there is no particular limitation on the material and shape.

[0010] The other cup may be a coffee cup as long as its opening has a diameter in contact with the inside or outside of the convex engaging portion formed on the back surface of the saucer. It may be a cup, and the cup size may be different, but it may be used for the same purpose.In any case, the size of the thread bottom formed on the back of the cup must be the same It is.

In the present invention, the engagement between the cups and the saucer does not result in a strong fitting state when they are engaged with each other. There is no deviation, and each cup and the saucer are in such an engagement relationship that they can be easily separated by lifting.

The cup and saucer of the present invention may be made of any of ceramics (including ceramics), plastic, and metal, but those made of ceramics which have been conventionally used are more preferably used. The cup can be applied to coffee cups, tea cups, cups using saucers, such as mugs, various tea drinking tea bowls, and tea bowls for steaming tea bowls.

[0013]

[Action]

 The cup and saucer of the present invention are composed of one saucer and at least two kinds of cups having different diameters. By making the diameter of the thread bottom formed on the back side of the cup the same, the back side of the saucer is made. The two types of cups having different diameters and having a diameter in contact with the outer or inner peripheral surface of the convex engaging portion formed in the above-mentioned shape can be securely stacked and carried.
