Sugar bowl from Czechoslovakia

[cutesillyme]

Hello all! I'm hoping that someone here can help. I have a sugar bowl that is stamped (machine I believe) on the bottom in green ink "Made in Czechoslovakia". It also has handpainted numbers and letters on the bottom and inside the lid that appear to be "Fac: 1130" and beneatch that it says "Dec: 8641". Under the lid it only says "Fac: 1130". It also has numbers impressed on the bottom that say "1130" with a "3" centered below it.  Could someone please tell me what to make of this or guide me to where I can find out? Many many thanks!!

Hi................. these are specific factory and decorating marks. Extensive research will lead you to a more precise answer to the marks. There are over 70 different Czech marks on pottery and porcelain including mold, stamped, paper etc.
First a country in 1918. Then came under Communist control from 1948. After 1993 it was divided into the Czech and Slovak Republics.
