Antique Royal Vienna Porcelain Plate Hand Painted Muse with Cupid Beehive Mark 1940s tap pants A rare and visually distinctiveThis is an antique hand painted Royal Vienna porcelain plate marked with a beehive mark in blue underglaze. This mark was originally used by the The Imperial and Royal Porcelain Manufactory and is called the Bindenschild mark. A number of people used this mark in imitation of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory aka Royal Vienna. My understanding is that the blue mark underglaze normally is indicative of an authentic piece. I would date it to between 1890
