Hi,  Could anyone identify of give me any info on a teaset I have.  There are 6 each of cups, saucers and side plates with "Made in Czechoslovakia" and logo underneath.  Thanks

Hi Helen and welcome to the board. Your mark is one of several used by Haas & Czjzek of Schlaggenwald. There is a page of their marks available to see here: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/65/38/f3/6538f314c5c20f4ab460136e32d7167c.jpg

You may find a pattern name match on Replacements.com here http://replacements.com/china/HCZ.htm

Thank you Anne.   Unfortunately, I haven't been able to identify the pattern name.  I've had a look at the links you attached which I'm very grateful for.  This suggests the set was manufactured around 1918 - 1945? Thank you.

Hi Helen, Can you tell if they are hand-painted flowers or transfers under the glaze?

The company history here says that after WW2 the company was nationalised under the Benes Decree so pre-WW2 seems likeliest. http://www.hradbitov.cz/history-1/history-of-the-haas-and-czjzek-porcelain-factory/

They are still in business and have a website (in Czech!) http://www.haas-czjzek.cz/
