Your piece looks more like pottery or earthenware rather than porcelain - and too, this is possibly the most copied mark in the world - it just doesn't look like Meissen porcelain.  Of course my browser may not be the very best either -

Ahhhh !  A picture is worth a thousand words -

Now it looks like porcelain - and may well be Meissen - it's gorgeous -
