Your cream & sugar are silver plate on Brtitannia metal, which is a form of hard pewter. Their simple style would indicate these were meant to resemble Colonial style silver. Unfortunately the market is currently flooded with silverplate, a result of changing tastes and demographics. values for such pieces are currently quite modest, less than $35.00 at auction.
