All I know is that the marks are all impressed (using a carved stamp before drying/firing.) The body is porcelain -- I can't tell the quality, but it doesn't matter if it's not a translucent piece. And the glaze is celadon. Looks like a souvenir from a holy site, but the alphabet (if it is writing above the cross) is not familiar to me. It's maybe an interpretive (βαsταяdizεd) take on ancient Greek, but beyond that, I have no idea.
My bet is it's a modern Christian tchotcke from the area near a significant monastery or other place of Christian religious importance.
Best of luck, hope this helps!

Thank you and that is helpful. It is in mint condition and it is not translucent.
Very helpful.

It also occurs to me that the weird ladder looking things beneath the dove are palms. Would totally fit and make sense.
