What is the difference between Eve and Berries & Cherries?

Berries & Cherries is the new, multi-coloured version of Eve.  The design of apples, grapes, berries and cherries is exactly the same for both patterns, but their colour schemes are different, and they were introduced about one decade apart.  Eve, a one-colour pattern in medium blue, dates to the mid 1990s, and was discontinued January 1997.  Berries & Cherries, depicted in red, green and dark blue, debuted in 2004.

The similarities are obvious when comparing plates, but the bowls do differ slightly in design.  For Eve, the bowls were decorated with bunches of blue cherries and berries, but only the red cherries, positioned sideways, are seen on Berries & Cherries bowls.

Both patterns use the same coupe plate style, but unlike Eve, Berries & Cherries does not include flared Suprema mugs since it is too new.  Most often it came with matching glassware, and it is unclear whether solid-coloured stoneware mugs were ever included in sets.
