Strange tea pot. I need help!

[Chip]

I need help figuring out what kind of tea pot I have. Unfortunately I cannot attach the picture but I can try my best to describe it. It is a tea set containing four parts, three tea cups and one tea pot. The tea pot itself is porcelin and brown. It looks like a Windsor Whistling tea pot in style and has a wooden handle in the same manor. It also has a signature on the bottom but all I can make out of it is "flm lgt".
The tea cups are also porcilin and brown with a handle on the side, they look more similar to coffee cups than tea cups however.
I really need to identify this tea set, any help possible or even guesses are much appriciated. If you really want to see the pictures and can email me, I may be able to send a picture.
Thank you so much.

First of all,

Porcilin...porcelain
Appriciated...appreciated

Secondly,

I did an eBay search and came across the following:

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=teapot ... m270.l1313

Does any of those fit your description?

First of all, it is "Do."

Secondly, it would be "appriciated" if you would not be so snarky. We are an international community where many members use English as a second language, etc., and we have not nor will we start correcting spelling and grammar ... or I may start with each of your posts.

I'm sorry but like most people I don't have anything I can use to spell check.

I looked at the listings before hand and most of the tea pots have a few aspects in common with mine but with all of them just one or two things are off. I posted a picture of the set on photobucket. I hope the picture works, but I'm kind of new to all of this technology.

Does this help.

If you resize the photo to less than 640 pixels wide, we can post the image right here. 500 is a good width.

It won't let me post the picture on here. I tried. But I really need help with this tea pot. Please does anyone have any information that could help me identify it?

Sorry, but it doesn't look like anything terribly special to me. Why do you need to "identify" it, and what particular information are you looking for?

hi

To me it looks like an earthenware pot, not porcelain. It looks like the kind of thing you might find at a local arts and crafts fair, hand made, but not a collector piece. Porcelain, or even china, is generally thin. Does it ring if tapped ? Why the desperate need to identify it ?

It does not look like earthenware to me. It looks like stoneware or porcelain.

Porcelain, or even china, is generally thin.

Porcelain does not have to be thin. It's as thick or as thin as the thrower is talented! Many US & Euro potters use porcelain for its white color, which makes glazes more brilliant, and not for its translucency.

Well first, thank you for the help thus far.
It doesn't sound like a ring to me, more like a "tink" sound. As for why, I'm just highly curious, if it's just something you can buy at walmart thats fine, but I can't find much on the style of it or anything and its struck my curiosity. Do you recognise style elements of it at all?

+1 to BBB on stoneware.

They look strangely familiar...

Is there any possibly way you could post a pic of the bottom with potter's marks? Perhaps someone I know can identify them. BTW, how did you come to acquire the pottery? Perhaps that could help in solving the mystery.

Doubt you will be able to find anything like that at walmart. Dollars to donuts its hand-thrown. You can tell because the cups are similar, but not identical. Both the teapot and cup shapes are fairly common w/in the pottery community.
