    Is this an Meissen homage mark? If so anyone know who made this?
    Or is it just a generic fake?

    Welcome to our forum!!! :happy::happy::happy:

    You always look at the overall quality of the piece first & then judge the mark. According to an on-line reference this mark was used from 1732 - 1773 & is referred to as the "Dot Period". I agree with Sperls that from the photo it does look like it might be the real deal.

    I have had a couple of Meissen pieces & have seen many come through the auction house. It is the quality of the painting & how it is finished. It is also the overall feel & weight of the piece as you hold it in your hand. Look closely for any impressed marks on the bottom.
