    I found this pewter dishwater set at a thrift shop. I could tell they were older. It is marked rWp. I cannot find the same pieces on google. Are they anything special?

    I'm not sure it was a set. The texture of the tray is different from the slightly more porous serving pieces.

    It's more contemporary, and I think maybe people used them in the kitchen. They made S&P mills, as well.

    Amanda, I received two pieces, the creamer and sugar, just like these that you have, as a wedding gift in 1978. (For whatever reason, I even still remember who gave us the 2-piece set!)

    I agree with scouts - all those pieces are NOT from a single set.

    Another vote for "not a set". The taller cream & sugar shape of handles differ from smaller creamer. The black handles on the teapot and coffee pot are different from each other and if either of those pieces had come with either of the sets of cream and sugar, the shape of handles would have been the same, even though they are of a different material.
    You'll have better results searching for the pieces independently.
    Nice score though, and I would have no qualms about using these pieces together, pewter is more rustic than silver and need not be all matchy matchy.
