I have a pair of blue and white plates with this mark.

I have been looking through books and sites trying to identify it, but I have found nothing.

Could somebody please help me.

These photo's are very low quality, I really do not think anyone could make a good call with these photo's, all we can really do is Judge by the decoration and shape, so I think Peter is the one to respond, the foot look like it could be early 19th century but not sure with this photo.

This is nothing traditional Chinese I recognize. Either it is more recent or not Chinese at all, in my view. Anyone can imitate a mark, the same way as the Chinese use(d) marks from earlier times.
