Hello!
Does anyone knows this mark, please?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Regina

Not sure...could be (Qian Zong Yuan made?) 乾宗元造, but the first character is not a family name, as far as I know. The first character may or may not be right. This is more in the style of a seal than a porcelain mark.

Could it be from Daoguang period? Thank you.

As I mentioned, it is more like characters found on a seal than the seal-type marks used on porcelain. You will have to find someone involved with seals...

If you ask if it is a Daoguang reign mark, I doubt it.  道光年造 (Daoguang yrs. made) -- the usual logic would be that zhuanshu characters are more complex than kaishu, meaning they may have more strokes, but hardly fewer.
Just to be clear, I'm not so sure whether the first and fourth characters are what I think, but I'm pretty sure about the second (宗) and third (元) characters. Checking with a zhuanshu font they were exactly the same as in the mark on the porcelain item.
