Royal Vienna and the Beehive Mark: Real or Fake? - By: www.Marks4Antiques.com, 2010-01-02

It turns out that the term Royal Vienna and the “beehive” mark occur frequently on fine Porcelain and China pieces, mostly on items of decorative appeal. Yet, in our research, we have often found that there are several meanings attached. To begin with, there is not and never was a company or factory called "Royal Vienna." Many Collectors have used this term to refer to the “Imperial and Royal Porcelain Manufactory" in Vienna, Austria, and in operation ca 1718 - 1864 only.
