I am not an expert, but references to this mark (including from Christie’s Auction House) call it Worcester Porcelain circa 1770s) with a crossed swords mark. Interestingly, I have seen the other symbol called a 6, G, or 9, on different reputable sites. Another teacup with this pseudo-Meissen mark on a separate fine art/antiques auction site was said to have been decorated in the atelier of James Giles
