Nesting magnetic tableware

A system of nesting magnetic tableware, comprising:

• a first piece of dishware, comprising:
• a well,
• a rim extending from the well, the rim defining a pair of substantially planar tabs extending from opposing lateral sides of the well, each tab having opposing upper and lower surfaces, the rim having at least one aperture,
• at least one bumper affixed to the rim, the at least one bumper configured to extend above the upper surface and below the lower surface of the rim, wherein the at least one bumper is comprised of a different material than the well, and wherein at least a portion of the at least one bumper extends through the at least one aperture,
• a pair of magnets affixed to the pair of substantially planar tabs either above the upper surfaces or below the lower surfaces thereof, and
• a pair of recesses corresponding to the pair of magnets in the surfaces of the tabs opposing the surfaces of the tabs to which the pair of magnets is affixed;
• and
• a second piece of dishware, comprising:
• a well,
• a rim extending from the well, the rim defining a pair of substantially planar tabs extending from opposing lateral sides of the well, each tab having opposing upper and lower surfaces,
• a pair of magnets affixed to the pair of substantially planar tabs either above the upper surfaces or below the lower surfaces thereof, and
• a pair of recesses corresponding to the pair of magnets in the surfaces of the tabs opposing the surfaces of the tabs to which the pair of magnets is affixed;
• wherein one of the first or second pairs magnets are pulled into engagement with one of the first or second pairs of recesses when the first and second pieces of dishware are nested and the first and second pairs of tabs are placed in proximity to one another.

A system of nesting magnetic tableware, comprising:

• a first piece of dishware, comprising:
• a well,
• a rim extending radially outward from the well, the rim defining a first pair of substantially planar tabs extending from opposing lateral sides of the well, each tab having opposing upper and lower surfaces, the rim having at least one aperture,
• at least one bumper affixed to the rim, the at least one bumper configured to extend above the upper surface and below the lower surface of the rim, wherein the at least one bumper is comprised of a different material than the well, and wherein at least a portion of the at least one bumper extends through the at least one aperture,
• a first pair of magnets affixed to the first pair of substantially planar tabs above the upper surfaces thereof, and
• a first pair of recesses in the lower surfaces of the first pair of substantially planar tabs, each recess sized and shaped to at least partially receive one of the first pair of magnets.
