What does this mean?

Good afternoon, John,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It would have been unusual for one set to include two sugar bowls and two cream pitchers so I am concluding that these are two sets that have been combined into one large set. Yoshino China is not as popular on the market as Noritake or Satsuma and, as a consequence, does not sell for very much and/or there relatively few auction records of sets selling, likely because they do not bring much money at auction.

Recent sales of Yoshino china are as follows, to give you a sense of the auction market:
