I found six Royal Vienna portrait plates today. They are all hand painted. No transferwares. The beehive is painted on over the glaze. Each plate is 10 inches. Anyone have any knowledge they can share? I’ve read about Royal Vienna and it’s actual origin, so I’m wondering if there is a way to narrow it down to any particular maker and time frame.
Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

They are gorgeous. I have a friend with some 1780s plates but the beehive mark is the other way. When I searched the beehive mark I found this:

There seems to be other sites abut the beehive mark so ave a look around to date and verify your pieces.
Thanks, Racer4four. It’s definitely not imperial Vienna. But from what I’ve read, the royal Vienna term encompasses a lot of porcelain makers who imitated the style of imperial Vienna porcelain factory. These would be one of those. True Vienna porcelain should have the beehive under the glaze. This is painted over the glaze. And although I find the paintings nice, they’re not even remotely the quality of true Vienna porcelain. So my next step is to figure out which of these other Porcelain makers created these and during what timeframe. My broadest guess is somewhere between 1900-1950. Yeah, I know...way to narrow it down, huh? Lol.
Yeah, things like this are hard to research, there's too much info then not enough info!
