Beautiful Covered Dish with Matching Sugar Bowl and Creamer /Hand Painted by E. Mears Czech & German Porcelain /Circa 1900-1920

This is a really nice little set of amateur hand painted pieces. Probably done around the 1900 to 1920's by E. Mears. They would have been purchased as blanks from various porcelain importers at the time. The covered dish is German imported by "Three Crowns" who are not the maker which is unknown. The dome is a really nice shade of robin's egg blue with a little gilt bow on top. The sugar bowl and creamer were probably bought at a later date and painted to match. Both are from the Czech company "Epiag" who are still in business today. The creamer has a luster interior since it is seen, while the sugar bowl does not. Really nice condition with minimal wear to the gold accents -Mike-
