Thought we had found a one-off piece... then found more a year later! Any ideas?

OK, I know this a long shot but I just have to ask!

We found this nice little lidded jar at a thrift shop and loved the coloring so we bought it. Figured it was just something someone had made in pottery class due to the look of it.

Fast forward a year later to yesterday, in a different area entirely, this teapot and creamer were sitting on a thrift shelf and we recognized it immediately!

Now we know the little jar is a sugar bowl

There are no markings other than a "5" on the creamer bottom and a "W" (I believe?) on the teapot bottom.

I can't imagine the odds... but now I'm really curious.

Was this something available at the store? Or did we really just get that lucky to find more of the set that some random person made?

I bet there are teacups and saucers out there somewhere!!

I posted these pics to a dedicated porcelain/pottery forum. I'll let you know if it gets anything useful.

Thank you! Really appreciate that. We love these pieces but would always like to know the history if we could!
