This is the bottom of a cup from a set of China that I was given by my mother. Allegedly it came from my ancestors.

Bohemian glass is very good quality and very collectible. Check Kovel's website on line and ask them for details.

Earliest reference to TK Thun was 1560. Couldn't find that particular mark. Antiques Roadshow!

Made in Bohemia, a section of Czechoslovakia, after 1920, when Czechoslovakia was created.

Marked as "usa&co" for some reason. Probably good quality but not a fortune.

No, Archie is an AMERICAN not a Czech American or a w***e A******n just and gloriously an AMERICAN. Hyphonated identities are not American in spirit.

Hi. Try sending it to a company called Replacements. Or you can even try tk look it up in their archives.

Or try this: go to Ebay dinnerware (type in the name). Just type all of that in on the search bar line. Should come up.

Thanks! I appreciate that. I was packing it up for a move, and got curious since my mother in law said it is good stuff. I have no clue being a knuckle d**gging redneck and all.😆
