Title: Royal Carlsbad Society China
Post by: kashi92 on January 02, 2009, 03:15:16 PM

I bought these dishes at a garage sale. They have a mark on the bottom I cannot find any information about.  The words read: Royal Carlsbad Society China.  Warranted platinum. Made in Czechoslovakia.  Can you tell me any information about them?

That trademark was used by bohemia ceramic's until about 1945 the fact that platinum was used is a no no.those were war years of world war two. it would have been a regulated metal.

So we have a merger of thun karlovarsky in 1958. so your china dates from 1958 onward it is considered limited edition.

Thanks for your quick reply :)  Are they worth anything?  I have been using them as dishes to take food to parties and if I leave them no big deal.

I would carefull about leaveing them. a replacement dinner plate could cost you $25.00 + Dollars if you can find one. remember these are limited editions.

I totally agree with D&b.  They could even be worth more depending on condition and pattern!  Could you post a pic of the front in your spare time?

Thanks for the information here are pictures of the dishes.  They are white with the platinum around the edges.  Any information is greatly appreciated. The seal on the back is a bit raised and not flush to the dish (different consistency than the plate materials).
