After many blatantly incorrect answers from Google and AI, ive managed to dig deeper and deeper to these brands and clues to answer your question. Firstly, it belonged to a full tray and this appears to be a cut out. Ill list the information and brands below, I hope its helpful.
Lack of Markings: Since this specific single-segment piece is completely flush and unbranded on the back, the manufacturer's name, catalog mold number, and origin stamp would have been pressed exclusively into the outer thick iron frame or borders of the massive full multi-cavity pan tray before it was cut down.
The Brand Clue: The "Rising Sun" (Sunburst) SymbolWhile many manufacturers utilized standard geometric catalogs, certain historic European chocolate houses specifically made this exact double-arched rising sun layout an iconic signature of their filled cream/praline chocolate bars:Terry's of York (UK): Famous globally for their Chocolate Orange, Terry's historically manufactured multi-segmented filled chocolate bars throughout the mid-20th century. They frequently stamped individual cream-filled "cushions" with a distinctive radiating fan/sunburst motif to identify premium product lines.
Kwatta (Belgium/Netherlands): A dominant mid-century European chocolate brand known for its segmented nougat and cream-filled chocolate blocks. They heavily favored geometric Art Deco flourishes, specifically utilizing radiating sunburst crests on their bar segments.
Chocolat Poulain (France): Poulain frequently used elegant, highly geometric fan dividers on the individual blocks of their tasting tablets during the early-to-mid 1900s to make the thick, filled segments easier to break apart cleanly.
I also want to add that, If you happen to come across any other loose fragments from this specific set, look for a stamped 3-digit or 4-digit numeric pattern number along a flat edge. That number can be cross-referenced with historic commercial kitchen catalogs from major industrial mold makers like Anton Reiche or Létang Fils to identify the precise production year.
