I need help please idntifying a pierced plate.

Hello everyone, I hope you've all had a splendid weekend and have eaten Yorkshire pud, 'cos I didn't. And I love Yorky Puds.

Anyhoo, my question, can anyone throw any light on this pierced edge plate please?

It weighs one and a half pounds, which seems heavy to me (I think that's about 2 ltrs and 8ozs in the new money)

The coat of arms looks hand painted/enamelled? On the back is that The Vienna Beehive, that wasn't supposed to be a beehive?

Any help would be gropefully received, thanks.

Although the bindenschild is there, Royal Vienna quality isn’t.

 

Aha, the thick plottens. Thank you for your prompt reply.

I think it is a later version of the Chinese Amorial plates. The originals were from the 1700s.

Yours is not a 1700 piece.

The copies also from China were later. I'm not 100% sure on the date, but I think it was turn of the 1900s. Again I could be wrong on that. But I think that is what you have.
