This designation marks it as "No. 1 china clay" which, is the finest china ever produced at Onondaga Pottery, and one of the best ever made in the US. Approx. measurements Sugar 5 1/2" tall x 7" wide (handle to handle) Creamer 5 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" wide sold Weight 9.6 oz. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is some wear of the gold design in places.
