I've searched and searched for this mark, but can't find it. Count Thun?
I'd love help dating this plate. I'm guessing 1900-1950?
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance!

I think it's a pre WWI cake plate, the style and the colors seem to be from then.
Thanks for your thoughts! That matches timeframe of my Grandmother's collection.

The top link is a very long listing of Austrian/Bohemian pottery marks. "Thun" is quite a ways down, and your mark is not shown.
I picked just one item to look at in the second link. Lots of "Count Thun" to choose from. I looked at many Count Thun pieces, all having the same mark, but not yours. Your plate looks new - unused, no chips, no missing paint from handling; the 'Hand Painted' mark is robust (jeez - never used that word before), a lot of paint was used. The big difference between your plate and all the others, is the mark.
