Based on the "Made in Czechoslovakia" mark, this piece most likely dates back to the 1930s or 1940s. During this era, many high-quality souvenir items were produced in Czechoslovakia for the Australian market. Manufacturers would take photographic images of local landmarks—like the Sydney Harbour Bridge—and apply them as hand-tinted transfer prints onto the porcelain
