Got this cream and sugar set in a lot for $10. Made by the Ohio Valley Potery circa 1887. Looks like they were gold trimed at one time but most has since worn off.

Also in the lot was this pair of busts. They are unglazed above a cobalt gold trimed base. 51/2" tall. There is a "N" inscribed on the rear just above the base. Any help with the age or maker of them would be appreciated.

Wild looking cream and surgar set. Must have been some good times in 1887, nothing like a Potery Party.

The busts appear to be a reproduction of French Limoge biscuit ware, the subject matter I believe is of Louise and Alexandre Brongniart, children of French architect Alexandre-Theodore Brongniart. That is if the one on the right is a girl (can't tell from the front of the pic, have to see the hair in back). The mark may represent NEVERS France, though i'm not too familiar with French Porcelain. I'm more into American Art Pottery and such.

The creamer and sugar were made in Wheeling W.V. by the Ohio Valley China Co. (aka- Ohio Valley Pottery) which later became Homer Laughlin China Co.
