Blue crown above 3 letters on pigeon

I have a pigeon measuring 13.5cm high in gloss. The numbers 10901 are impressed & a blue crown with a pointy top & possibly letters ?SR then possibly MON. It is not Capodimonte but I cannot find anything to match it. I cannot get a closer photo than provided. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your interesting query, I really appreciate the time and trouble you took to contact the site and share.

We have had quite an increase in volume of traffic of late, so it’s taking me longer than normal to get around to everyone – but be patient and eventually I’ll get there!

Meantime, if you are in a hurry and looking for a quicker answer by one of the world’s leading china antiquarians, please do not hesitate to contact Whats-it-worth. Actually their service cost only a few dollars and has 100% positive feedback from our visitors.

They have to make a small charge as it’s their job, whilst I do all this for free because it helps with the knowledge base of this site which is my love and joy not my profession! But sorry, I take a little longer and don’t have all the answers.

Often I am helped by wonderful marvelous visitors like Melissa who, like the wonderful pixies sewing the fine thread for the tailor in the middle of the night, goes around the queries answering with expert aplomb! Thanks M.

I have published a page especially to help visitors help themselves which contains all the searching, valuation and identification tips, links and websites etc called Value of Antiques & Vintage China - Identification Help Page

Please enjoy all the free resources of this site and welcome!

I will look at your submission above as soon as I can.

Hello to all
this mark look like the one on my figurine in porcelaine which turns out to be Volkstedt
very very early volstedt i had it looked at here in montreal at a downtown antique seller and collector
these are valuable if it is in mint condition
hope this helps you out
but it really looks like the mark on my figurine
have a look in the posts above i also have what looks like SR on mine
best regards
George
