Help identifying makers mark

I picked up a porcelain tureen & centerpiece.  At first I thought it was Capodimonte but can't find a makers mark that matches theirs.  Does anyone have any ideas on who the maker is?

No, they are not original antique Capodimonte pieces.

They are clearly knock-offs, with a fake maker's mark.

Was waiting for you ! Smiley Happy In the interest of learning where would they have been made? And is it worth faking Capodimonte? I only learned about this style a couple of days ago.

What makes them stand out to you as knock-offs?  There were old grease marks that had settled in under the glaze - something I've come to associate with age & use (whether correctly or incorretly assumed, I don't know for certain) - so I thought they were old, although this is never a guarantee of authenticity.  What do you look for when you say they are obvious knock-offs, aside from the marker's mark?
