Unmarked antique flow blue china creamer & sugar, ironstone or semi-porcelain, almost certainly Staffordshire china. We'd guess the age at about 1880, give or take 10 years?  Without question before the US tariff laws of 1891, when law would have required export pieces to be marked with the country of origin.

The cream pitcher stands about 5" tall, and has a chip to the spout. The sugar bowl and lid look very good, no chips or cracks.

There is crazing to both of these pieces, and a few small glaze pops at the rims. There's good flow blue throughout but very little browning or foxing spots, and no staining from use. The gold looks very good, these have had very little use.

They are a blue spray or floral bouquet pattern, gold edges and decorated with hand-painted gold. Possibly Johnson Brothers? or Grindley? or maybe one of one of the dozens of other makers of English flow blue china. Without a maker's mark, it seems impossible to tell!
