Married Item

By Barbara Crews, About.com

Definition:

Married Item
Two pieces put together to make one whole. An example would be matching a cookie jar lid and base from two different sources, to make one jar. Often the difference can't be seen, but sometimes there will be color variations that make the attempt at matching obvious.
