Q: I’ve owned these pieces for more than 10 years and don’t know what they are used for. One piece has a spout and open handle. The lid has a flower finial. The bottom is marked “Lefton China” above a crown and “Hand Painted” below it. It also has the number 058 on the bottom. What was this set used for and what is it worth?

A: You have a stacking sugar and creamer. The sugar bowl fits on top of the creamer and serves double-duty as a creamer cover. Lefton also made stacking tea sets–a sugar and creamer sat on top of a teapot. Your set is worth about $15.
