I got this from my grandmother's house. I can't find a marking other than C-7500 on the bottom of cups. Does anyone have any information on this set? I'm guessing a milk pitcher and cups.

I wonder if it could be German? They often seem to mark their pottery with numbers, but I am by no means an expert! It's a lovely jug.
How tall is the pitcher?
The pitcher is about 8" tall. No markings anywhere on pitcher.
I, too just got that exact same set from my grandmother's home. Mine has 2 of the small glasses/vases. Did you ever find anything out on this set? I am so curious to know where it came from and exactly what it is (and why there are holes in the top of the pitcher).
No, it's still a mystery to me.
So, I did some online research, and I found out it's made by a company called NAPCO. The items are called napcoware. This is copied and pasted from what I found. I also found the pitcher on Ebay for $8.99, so I don't think it has much monetary value.
The NAPCO Company or National Potteries Corporation is located in Bedford, OH and began production of Porcelain and Glass in 1938. Ceramic pieces sold by Napco (National Potteries Corporation) are distinctive and popular again today.
Since its prolific output of the 1950s and 1960s, Napco has held the interest of collectors because the ceramic items are consistently well-designed.
Owned and operated in the Midwest, Napco distributed a variety of collectibles, including decorative wall accessories, ashtrays, ceramic and wood house wares, floral arrangements, ceramic planters, decorative glass, novelty figurines, mugs, trivets, and Christmas ceramics.
Napco used a wide array of marks for its head vases-some transfer marks and some paper labels. The paper labels feature various wording, such as: "A Napco Collection," "Napco originals by Giftware," "National Potteries Co., Cleveland, OH, Made in Japan," and "Napcoware, Import Japan."
Wow, great research on that. Thanks so much!
