Pictured first is a butter pat, presumably made by Buffalo China. Presumably, because often Buffalo China did not backstamp their pats, and this can also said of their egg cups. Thus, lacking a backstamp, I'd bet that this is a Buffalo China production. No matter, it is a very nice butter pat.
The little creamer, 5cm tall, was produced by Nastraus Hotel China, in their Bunbury pattern. This info was found on the backstamp of this item. This, too, is grand item, which still holds its allure after all of these years.
I like collecting hotel, diner and restaurant items, and I hope to post more of these for your review.
Thank you aghcollect…..

I believe the piece marked Nastraus Hotel China was distributed by Nathan & Straus of New York City. They went out of business in 1965. The mark used from 1937-1965 includes the name of Duparquet. At first, I thought the same as you - that Nastraus was the name of the manufacturer but now know it is the name of the distributor. They used the ostrich logo from 1920s-1936. They distributed restaurant ware for quite a few companies.
