Based on your images I would have to say they are not Swansea, but they do resemble mid 19th Century examples by coalport, Davenport and Rockingham. Similar examples were also made in Germany during the last quarter of the 19th Century. Value wise I'd find it hard to part with them for less than $200.00 each.
