    I got these three pieces online for a couple of dollars. From the pictures I though it was a cream and sugar but the bowl is much too large. My guess is mid 1800s and likely Germany. What do the experts think?

    They are completely hand painted and
    are quite translucent as you can see in the last picture. The only mark is the squiggle on the bottom of the pitcher. The pitcher is 5" high and the bowl is 5.5" in diameter.

    Sugar bowls used to be huge, and wine glasses used to be tiny. Now it's the other way round. I'd guess the mark is a decorator's mark for piece work payment.

    I think your guess is good. Maybe Bohemia, but thereabouts.

    Germany, Bohemia (aka Czechia now, more or less), Austria... somewhere in there.
