Porcelain Figurine Crossed Swords Mark. Is it English?

    This is an antique porcelain figurine that is 5 inches tall.
    Mark on lower back is underglaze blue crossed swords. Mark is blurry (not my photos).
    Other faint markings/numbers on bottom would not come off with acetone so maybe are fired in.

    Could it be from an English factory?
    Bristol, Derby, Chelsea?

    I sort of ruled out Meissen because I thought their mark was always on bottom and this mark is blurry but maybe I am wrong.


    Thanks.

    I doubt it is Meissen, the hands look rather course compared to the originals and that smudged Mark.

    Thank you for the 2 links. I think mine looks similar to the second one which I see does have a mark similar to mine in same spot on lower back. They catalog it as Meissen but they could be wrong, it looks sort of crude for Meissen. Actually the mark looks more like crossed arrows.

    Yes, it does look rather crude for Meissen but it’s worthwhile showing it to a reliable auction house or researching further just in case it’s early. I think it’s an outside chance though.
