Help with ID on Japanese, Chinese or Katuni Porcelain Makers Mark?

I'm hoping someone can tell me what makers mark is on the bottom of this cup.  It's porcelain covered in silver, and then dripped with enamel colors.  A very beautiful and unique item.  I've searched on Gotheborg and several other sites, but can't find this mark.  I'm thinking Katuni, because of the porminent orange/red handle, but I'm not even sure which way the mark is supposed to be right side up, and any help would be appreciated.  The first photo is of the cup before cleaning up the silver.Silver Cup 1.jpgSilver Cup 2.jpgSilver Cup 3.jpgSilver Cup 4.jpg

It looks like a a stylized Monogram or initials to me

Maybe a lower case "a" in an uppercase  "A" or N
