The patterns are often described as Mayan or Aztec influenced. Frankoma Desert Gold Sugar and Creamer set A ceramic company founded by John Frank in 1933 in Norman, Oklahoma.  Frank was an art professor at the University of Oklahoma. Later studios moved to Sapulpa and Glenpool, Oklahoma. Studio used "excavated regionall/local clay and distinctive glazes like Prairie Green and Desert Gold " (Wikipedia) This set is post 1952 because sugar bowl has the lid. Based upon colors inside the creamer/sugar, I believe this  is  "Desert Gold" glaze over Sapulpa red clay. Early pottery (pre-1954) generally used a tan-colored local Ada clay (Norman), while later pieces are a rich, dark red local Sapulpa clay. It is considered a heavy clay and collectible.  Depending on clay and when made, some pieces can be very valuable. Frank's pottery is Southwestern and Native American-inspired dinnerware, vases, and figurines.  The patterns are often described as Mayan or Aztec influenced.  Beautiful pieces.  Used but perhaps only "pre-owned" with no staining or utensil markings.  Just a rich golden swirl inside and tried to show this in photos.
