Jo, These are undoubtedly British from the 1880s time frame, and I'd suggest you look towards this. They may even be marked with the British registration mark and possibly manufacturer mark (on the inside and often difficult to see). Some companies to research: Sowerby, Davidson, Greener. Good luck!
Hi,
Thank you so much ,I really value your comment!! I will do some more research , Thanks to you I at least know where to begin! Thanks again!!
Hello again, Yes I did find a very very faint mark inside the taller of the 2 creamers, it is the british reg diamond, but very hard to see much else! Thanks again so very much for your help!! They are probably sowerby from what I can gather!
That's great, Jo, glad I was able to help.
Magnificent! Thank you. miKKO
