This looks alot like a Royal Vienna according to my book on pottery and porcelain. It may not be though--just can't be sure. If you will email me I will scan the drawing and info so you can be the judge. Email is [email protected]

I checked out Royal Vienna on eBay to see if there was anything similar and everything I looked at was very ornate, with lots of gold (rococo maybe??). The plate I have is solid red, no pictures or gold.
Also, has the Royal Vienna markings changed over time? There where several auctions that said they were for R.V. and the markings were very different.

To my knowledge ERW now makes mostly dinnerware. The company is still in
business. Is your dish a solid deep high gloss red with a sort of rounded edge? If so
this is a pattern that was made in a variety of bright colors. I am sorry I don't
remember the name of the pattern. I am not sure what it would bring at auction, but I
wouldn't think more than $4.00 or $5.00, assuming there was a person who needed a
replacement or an extra.
