Thanks for the effort Peter - this is really helpful! I will be happy if you find it. About the lower part of the stamp- I think that there is nothing written there. All the best!

Dear Dimitar

An object's worth amounts to what a buyer is willing to pay for it. If no one is willing to pay the asking price, then it is not worth the asking price.

Just don't pay too much for it as Buddhas like this one were not made before the 20th century and this one looks like it is from the 1950s or later.

 buddha figure
by: peter

Hi Dimitar,
This is likely from about the second quarter of the 20th century. The mark mentions Jiangxi (where many kilns, incl. Jingdezhen are), but the part below isn't clearly visible, and the lower part of the impressed mark is invisible.
I will try later to find out whether it is a shop mark; most such figures were made by the same few shops.
