Pottery Mark Query - Cross Swords with letters R & P plus words: Germany and Dresden

Pottery Mark Query - Cross Swords with letters R & P plus words: Germany and Dresden:- Hello, The enclosed porcelain figure of a woman holding a flower? in her hand with a lace dress (bottom and top).

The mark on the bottom is a cross swords with what seems to be the letters P and R as the base of each sword. In addition the words Germany and Dresden are below the swords.

This figure is in my family for many years.

Thanks,

YK

The forum Help Elf says:-

The maker is Martha Budich of Dresden. These were made in post war Dresden in the GDR within the communist block under Soviet rule. The letters are not R & P but M & B.

After looking carefuly at the mark I don't think the letters are M & B.
I also looked at the Martha Budich site mentioned and the letters at the base of the swords are different.

I am still looking for the clues about the maker according to the marks.

Thanks,

YK

Help Elf says:-

The mark is identical to Budich in every way apart from the letters. The work is identical. This is Buddich studio to my eyes - maybe with a slight variation on their standard mark for marketing purposes - i.e. for a distributor or retailer or export channel. The date and region remain the same.

R & P Germany

My figurine has what looks like to me, the identical mark, but it says "Germany" under that. Any thoughts? Thank you.
