I saw a listing on Craigslist and really like this coffee table and end table set. It looks sort of like a Noguchi table that I own but I don't know who made these. The seller states that it's from the 60's.

They look kind of new... because the glass looks so thin & cheap, but... I had some vintage tables that were similar made by "craft associates".

I don't think they're from anyone in particular. Certainly a Noguchi-inspired clone (poorly executed); I'd pass, but that's just me.

They
have their own geometry, quite distinct from the Noguchi table and perfectly rational on their own terms - -and not crudely executed, I'd say. The only inconsistency (to me) is the top of the end table, which by rights (because of the symmetry of the base) ought to be an ellipse, like the large top, rather than the cliche'd kidney.
