It will be difficult to find out very much about china without more information.

• You say that you purchased the set in Prague in 1990-1991 so I believe it may be safe to assume your set was made in Prague and not another country.
• I believe it is a standard that china is stamped with some type of marking during the curing process so most likely your set will have some type of makings.
• As a general rule, these markings will be on the underside of each piece of the set.
• Please look for markings and show a photo of the marks as well as explain whatever you can about the marks as you will be able to see them close up.

• There are too many brands of china for anyone to try and guess any details of your set without more to go on.
• I thought it might be Thun but I did not see your pattern in their line-up of patterns.
• You can do your own research on Google, eBay, Etsy, Park Lane and other sites once you locate the markings on your china.

If you can decipher the markings and determine a name then you can check for prices/value at Replacements as they have a large variety of china.

Once you find the manufacturer you can find out the age of it.
