I am almost certain it is not. I have the exact same set as pictured. Its a really close copy (one of the reasons I love it so much) but if you look at the base those chairs taper really thin then almost have a bulbous shape to the bottom of the pedestal, the originals bases are more of a straight smooth pedestal going down, more like the bottom of the table. The tops of the chairs are also slightly more angular than the originals, and made of a slightly thinner fiberglass than the thicker plastic of the originals. Its the harder to find copy though, alot of the Burke ones have that star base to bottom, still cool but I held out for the pedestal. So, hopefully whoever got the auction to end paid an outrageous price! Of course I could still be wrong, but I spend a silly amount of time studying my furniture..pathetic LOL!
