Beehive mark confusion?

[C_E_clair]

Can anyone please identify these marks for me and a value? I have gotten lost trying to read up on the marks. From the things I've read I believe the makers mark was blotted out by the Decorator - Josef Riedl. The gold blotting on one of my cups has been removed or wore down with something to show the mark. Plus one has the #116 marked on it. I have five of these and am trying to find any info I can on them. Is this Royal Vienna? Does It have any value? Thank all. C. Clair

I'am not surprised at the confusion.this mark is constantly being counterfeited.these are very nice.
$75.00 dollars per cup.

WOW! I had no idea. What are they? Should I try to remove the gold blot off the other four? I do not know what was used to remove the first one. I bought them that way. I was looking to sell them on ebay but I ran into "Identify Royal Vienna Fakes" guide by ginni. It was very helpful in making me look for answers. She asks everyone to list the china correctly. (Great idea!) But I cannot figure out what correctly is.  Any idea's.

My header should be "very nice repo"?  I would love any info that would help in Identifying these so I can list them as what they are or are not. for people to bid i like to give acurate info. That is were my search began. Reading her guide, searching the net, getting lost, etc.. etc.. are they fakes or just a simular mark, or just confusing marks.  I'm so lost!

OK, I have read alot more. I think I should list these as "Josef Riedl Decorated, Victoria Schmidt cups 1904-1918 Austria" would that be correct? Any help would be appreciated.

Well it has been many weeks. I have listed these as best as I know how.  As "Royal Vienna / Josef Riedl 1890 to 1918 Teacup" under a sub section of Vintage Reproduction.
