It may come back to bite me, but I'm going to side with the prospect of your cup being Chinese and possibly early 19th century, based on the mark. Its configuration has precedent in factory markings that appeared from the late Qianlong-Jiaqing period and later. Here's a re-do of your mark in the juxtaposition that looks best to me, but who knows what the factory "calliscribbler" had in mind. Also a reprise of some photos I showed here a few months back of a really great famille rose "Tree Shrew & Grapes" motif.
Cheers,
Bill H.
