I am flummoxed by this vase, please help

I purchased this vase at auction. I think the painting is very good and the vase is an unusual shape. The auction house listed it as 'Very early porcelain flower bowl 11" long x 6" high hand painted with birds'.

It is hand painted and there is some rubbing to the feet. There is a mark. My problems are that I can't find the mark so don't know the maker and therefore can't give a rough date. I'm really hoping someone could help?

Thanks

 

Here is a gold anchor that was discussed. I'd have to go look as not sure I'm remembering but try Chelsea bird as a search term.

That's great. Thank you for the pointer. Really appreciated.

 

Hi, Chelsea was what I was going to suggest too. Lovely thing.

 

I have a sneaking feeling it may be Samson although I hope I am wrong. It has a really faded impressed mark which I think is a deer lying down with it's head looking upwards (I can't find that anywhere either )
