I don't recognize the mark, but I'm guessing it was made for export purposes there. Austria would be "Osterreich" in Austria. Interesting mark.

It is a Robet Hanke Porcelain Factory vase. http://www.collectorscircle.com/bohemian/porcelain/marks_table2.html has some info on them. Founded 1882 and factory closed 1945. I found many of them for sale online in the $100-250 price range. Just type in Robert Hanke Porcelain Factory in your favorite search engine and compare yours with others available online.

Thanks SOOOO much everyone...don't know what I'd do without your expertise...Unfortunately, my vase isn't as pretty as others so we'll see how it does. Thanks again for taking the time to educate me!
