Eggshell porcelain fully hand painted tea set unknown impressed mark?

I purchased this lovely eggshell porcelain tea set in a full hand painted floral pattern (I think lotus flowers) & was wondering if you would be able to provide me with any info on it. The cup & side plate are unmarked but there is a 4 character mark to the base of the saucer. I have tried to find out what this is but with no success & the only relatively similar tea set I have seen was dated as c18th Qing Dynasty. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.
