Country guide
Bohemian porcelain marks
Bohemian porcelain marks can pair Carlsbad with BOHEMIA or use CZECHOSLOVAKIA; the company emblem identifies the factory separately.
Names, emblems and neighbouring codes
Marks can use German place names such as Carlsbad alongside Bohemia. Later country wording can read CZECHOSLOVAKIA. These inscriptions identify geography at different periods rather than a single porcelain firm.
What to check next
Compare the initials beneath a crown, the company name and any town. Do not date solely from a crown silhouette; retain all export wording and an impressed model number.
