Description
I have done a lot of research about what this piece is worth and have. One up with nothing. I know that it is a Count Thun piece from Czechoslovakia (obviously). By the marking on the bottom, I also know that it was made between 1819 and 1939. I have searched and searched for a dish even slightly similar to this with no avail. I cannot even find the same pattern on another dish. As seen in the picture, it is a small oval dish with a vine trim containing blue, yellow and pink roses. Can anyone give me more information on this?

History
Count Thun Porcelain Factory, Klášterec, Czech Republic (Klosterle, Bohemia, Austria).
The town was the Thun family estate.
1794 founded by Johann Weber and Johann Sontag, and financed by Count Franz Josef von Thun.
1797 it was leased by Christian Nonne.
1803 Count Josef Matthias von Thun operated the factory.
1805 it was leased by Melzer and Habertitzel.
1819 to 1945 the business was run by the Thuns as Count Thun Porcelain Factory. The earliest Marks look like a letter "K" with antlers or the letters "TK," some of the Marks appear as "Thuny," (1895-1945). In 1947 the factory was nationalized into Duchcovský Porcelán in Dux, then in 1958 it became part of Karlovarský Porcelán. See the Factory Mergers, Associations and Nationalizations table. It operated as Karlovarský Porcelán AS Závod Klášterec. Karlovarský Porcelán was privatized in 1992. Thereafter, several of the factories became independent businesses again, while others were maintained in the group. In 2001 Karlovarský Porcelán acquired the TK Thun design studio (not this factory) and began using the Thun Trademark. Thun Karlovarský Porcelán AS Závod Klásterec is still in business today.

Re: Old Count Thun Relish/Soap Dish
The initial date I posted is incorrect, I accidentally mixed the numbers around. It is 1918 to 1939.
