Gold toned Italian sugar and creamer, FB & Co.

By cstewart36, 8 August, 2010
Description

This is a gold-toned sugar and creamer set that is in excellent condition. The bottom is marked FB & Co. 14.7390 Italy. I cannot tell what material this set is made out of. The outside gold glaze feels like ceramic material. Would appreciate any information.

Re: Gold toned Italian sugar and creamer, FB & Co.

It's sometimes called "gold luster" after early 19th Century examples, but the color on this set is actually a micro thin layer of gold rather than an oxidized metallic glaze. Most pieces like this date from the 1950's and were made in the USA, Germany, Italy and Japan. Values are modest, whole sets often sell for under $100.00:

Re: Gold toned Italian sugar and creamer, FB & Co.

Thank you so much for the information on this set's gold finish. I just stumbled across the set and thought it beautiful, but knew very little about it. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to educate me a bit.

Best wishes to you, Lovejoy!
