I searched on the net and I found the “beehive” sign used for Vienna porcelain in 1820-1827 on the bottom of one of my porcelain figurines. I knew it was old, but I am not certain if it is a forgery. I read on the site that the sign does not have to be perfectly symmetric. Can you help me, please?
And if you think it is original can you give me an approximate price?

It is certain it is not a post WW2 “made in Japan”, very very certain, but it is true it has cracks, considering its age it is normal, it needs restoration and this is why they rejected it. I have also other very old items from my grandma; I was raised in a house with antique objects and my family was too poor to buy new items after WW2 and even before. With one of my items I went to the museum and that man told me it is at least early 19th century old, so I have reasons to believe my objects are authentic and old. As for this mark I found it on the net and at a first glance it matches the criteria.
Anyway I cannot sell my objects at a fair price and no one is interested in old cracked porcelain, so I will renounce:
