Makers Mark

Hi!
I have a vintage bank that I purchased at an estate sale that has a makers mark. I'm unable to identify it. Can anyone help. Please and Thank-you!

I'm having trouble submitting a pic. The mark is 2 arrows crossed with a number underneath.

Hi hoovy welcome to the forum
I am sorry to see you had problems posting a picture.
Did you make sure it was 500 pixels or less?
(that's the maximum size that can be attached)

I always preselect crossed arrow marks as follows:

Crossed arrows with four feathers each over numbers/letters was used by "Home Interiors & Gifts" (HomCo); they mostly traded Asian imports (Japan, China, Taiwan, etc).

Two crossed arrows with three feathers each and more than two digits/letters is a mark used by Arnart Creations; they mostly imported from Japan.

Two crossed arrows with three feathers each but no more than one or two digits were used by the Kalk factory in Eisenberg/Thuringia.

If none of those fits, I grab a book and try for more

Hi Chris I read your comment about the 2 crossed arrows with 3 feather and more then 2 digits. Sounds like you know a lot about these marks. Which color are these marks are?
Can you look at my attached image and tell me if it really is an Arnart Creations? I have a very pretty candy dish (hand painted nd loks quite old) and trying to figure out who made it.
Thank you.
