Featured Mark on small French faience bowl

This little pierced bowl is about 2 inches tall and 4.25 inches across the top. Does anyone recognize the mark? I've searched France with NF, VF, LVF, VLF and not found it. I also searched France with pierced and reticulated, and did find some similar pieces,
but none with this mark. Similar pieces were marked Faience D'art de Malicorne, sometimes with the mark of Emile Tessier.
Any thoughts as to age, and the mark? Thank you.

 

SO tiny!!!! GREAT IMAGES!!!!! LOVELY!!! Otherwise, can't help...

 

Some of the decoration predates .

 

Hi cute piece I can't find that mark in any of my books. The piece does look to be in the style of Emile Tessier (I sold one recently with a very similar decoration, though different palette) Date-wise I would say mid 20th century. I must confess myself a little confused by the impressed production number on the base and the colour of the clay being so pale as Malicorne wares are a pinkish biscuit and hand formed so not usually impressed with a number like that. In terms of style, Malicorne production has a long history of 'borrowing' between artists and styles so if it's not signed by Tessier (and I can't see how this would be his signature) then it probably isn't his. Sorry can't be of more help!

 

Thank you for taking the time to go through your books, and your comments are very helpful. I also noticed the difference in clay color when I was searching through Malicorne listings.

 

It's a dear little thing...but in my house, would Always be known as the emoji bowl.

 

I agree it is a lovely little thing, but I am not seeing the emoji?

 

The little flowers around the edge, especially the yellow ones which show up better. Check out 10 o'clock on the left, and sort of halfway between what would be two and three on a clock..

 

Ah, I see what you mean!
