Please Help Date Meissen Mark.

Can you all please help date the style of this Meissen mark? There's an impressed number '4' near the footrim.

I believe it dates to the 19th or early-20th C. ???

Thank you!

 

I assume no one can help?

No biggie. Thank you all any way.

 

Well, other than to say it looks like a genuine mark, I can't add any info. This guy sells on ebay (does pretty well, I think) so I don't know how reliable the info is, but the good thing is that there are good pics of the marks: http://www.antiquesincheshire.co.uk/everything-else/meissen-porcelain-marks/

 

@'Nuff_Said I believe the design/pattern is called Indian, very nice!
That is a good site @kentworld!

Thank you both for the info.

That link is great and bookmarked. CX, you nailed the design pattern (Purple Indian). Thank you!

 

The most optimistic date would be 1815-1860. Look especially at the second image above for that date range, and compare the differences between the two crosses in that image to the differences between the two crosses on your piece. more especially, Also the swords in your piece are longer, or more narrowly painted than those in later marks, and more similar to those in the earlier date range.
The third and fourth images are marks from 19thc Meissen Indian Pink pieces for comparison.
The firth image is a post-1948 Meissen Indian Pink plate for comparison.
Finally, the 6th & 7th images are of an 1860-1924 Meissen Indian Pink plate - the date range you guessed. To my eye, your plate is earlier. Hope this helps more than confuses.
