Just beautiful! I agree with miKKo that's it's very hard to tell from the photo of the mark, but it does have that 'look'. Is it hand painted, transferred or perhaps painted over transfer? No matter which or if it's actually RS Prussia, it's lovely! :-)
This plate is definitely RS Prussia - the mark was probably torn when the decal was applied. Visit http://www.RSprussia.com and the rsprussia Facebook page.
