I was told this might be a Red Wing tea set.  I've been unable to locate it in the few RW books I have access to, or online.  Each is only marked "USA" on its side near the bottom.

Teapot:  12" long x 6.5" wide x 7" high (including the lid)
Sugar:  7.25" long x 4.5" wide x 4.25" high (including the lid)
Creamer:  8.25" long x 4" wide x 3" high

Thanks!

Thanks for posting these. 

Thanks for posting these.  I've found this set on ebay for years now, and always wondered about the manufacturer.  I've seen a matching covered casserole, and the same set with yellow lids, too.  Sorry I can't help with your query, but hopefully some Modisher knows the answer.

Thanks!

Is this the casserole you're talking about?  I just came across it in one of my boxes of Unidentifieds.  It has a similar speckled glaze, and seems to be the same type of pottery (ceramic?)  It's marked A302 / USA on the bottom.  Another needle in a big haystack...

No this isn't the casserole.

No this isn't the casserole. I think this is an A C Davey piece.  I've seen this same shape without the handles, in the middle of a Davey lazy susan set.  The casserole I mentioned looks just like your tea set.  Double handles in the same style. The same lid. It's the same line, and you would recognize it immediately.
