Does anyone have any information on Austrian China (see pictures attached)?  I acquired this 7 piece serving set and was told it was worth "hundreds" and that it comes from the 1800's.  I don't know what to think.  Any feedback would be appreciated.  Thank you so much!

Austrian China produced porcelain ware from 1718- 1864.  In 1744 the Empress Maria Theresa bought the company and it was owned & operated by the State until it's closing. Traditionally their mark was in blue underglaze. Yours are in red,so that is an anomaly that could affect their price up or down.
  After 1784.. pieces were dated by impressing the last two numbers of the year in the paste.  So look on the base of your pieces for these numbers to accurately date when they were made.
