I would be chuffed if Meissen but it doesn't match any mark on their books and the little "L" or squiggle at bottom is the curve ball lol - top as follows
The only Meissen mark like it is the mark they used in the 1750's ish which was on their "white gold" range but it is 100% not that old...... I think .....

It isn`t Meissen !!  I ran across this mark a few days ago when looking for another item !! Now if I can remember where and who it is !!  Will try to retrace my steps !!  What is the little mark at the end ??  Can not see it well enough to tell !!  Crown ??

its like an L with a circle at top so either a fancy L or maybe painters signature mark I am not sure too. its on its side too as you may of guessed LOL. I can't work out if it is ment to be the cross swords with a little V joining the crosses at the top or it could even be a M overlaying an X with L at bottom..... I just don't know ohh the pain  ;) ty for you help on it as well.....

Regarding the style it looks very much like Dresden porcelain to me, similar to Helena Wolfsohn pieces...

Could be !!  I have looked for two Dresden pieces in the last week,,perhaps that's where I saw the mark !!
