I AM SELLING THESE AS ORIGINAL. IF SOMEONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THESE PIECES PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I PURCHASED THEM IN MINNESOTA 10 YEARS AGO I BELIEVE. THE CUPS MUG OR GLASSES ALL FOUR ARE MARKED AND SIGNED. THE LADLE IS NOT MARKED OR SIGNED THAT I CAN SEE. THE ONLY OLSON I FOUND LISTED IN THE UNIVERSITY BOOK WAS WITH MATTSON/OLSON. STUDENT MAYBE. SIGNED DOROTHY OLSON. THE COLORS ARE WONDERFUL EACH GLASS IS DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE. BROWN SPECKS. THE LADLE IS A LITTLE CROOKED AND ALMOST CRUDELY MADE BUT IT HAD TO BE EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE. IT IS 1 FOOT LONG AND 3 1/2 INCHESWIDE AT BOWL. CUPS ARE 3X4 INCHES. APPROXIMATELY. IT LOOKS TO ME THAT MAYBE THIS WAS MADE TO BE A PUNCH BOWL SET? BEAUTIFUL TWO TONE TURQUOISE COLORS WITH BROWN SPECKS. I CHECKED AND RECHECKED ALL THE CUPS AND COULD NOT FIND ANY CHIPS. ONE CUP HAS CRACK. ALL DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE. ONE CUP HAS PITTING? FEEL. THAT CUP IS SHORTER ALSO. LADLE HAS SOME HOLES POKED IN IT AT THE TOP SIDE IN BACK. TOP HAS ROUGH AREA. I DO NOT SEE ANY BREAKS OR CRACKS OR CHIPS ON LADLE. IT MATCHES PERFECTLY WITH CUPS.THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HOPING SOMEONE WILL EDUCATE ME ABOUT THESE PIECES.
