What's the difference between Sea and Sand and Morning Light?

In subtle tones of blue and beige, Sea and Sand and Morning Light bear the same design, but they are not the same pattern.  Both are white-bodied, but the feature that distinguishes them is their plate style and the shapes of the other pieces in the set.

Sea and Sand is coupe with Suprema flared mugs and 6¼" soup/cereal bowls.  Morning Light uses a standard rimmed plate style, with Occasions cups & saucers and 7¼" bowls.  In addition to the floral band on the rim, Morning Light also has two coloured bands circling the centre of the plate.

Sea and Sand was introduced in the Livingware line in 1990, and it was discontinued June 1995.  Morning Light, in the Occasions line, is from 1988 or 1989.
