It is a capital "N" in blue ink with a crown above it - the crown has 5 points on it.
The figurine is three young children - a taller girl in the middle holding a swaddled child with a younger boy next to her. The detail is amazing - the toes of the shoes are worn away so you can see the toes of the children. I would say that the piece is Bavarian or German, maybe Austrian - though that may just be the style of the piece and not indicative of where it's from.
Thanks.

Rojoe! Thanks - I looked at that site and couldn't find this exact mark, but I found another site selling capodimonte and found an almost identical piece with a pretty much identical mark! I guess over the years they had a bunch of marks (but this appears to be genuine and not a knock-off! My grandmother collected figurines and I can't imagine she would have bought a fake.) Thanks so much! 10 pts when the time comes.

Without seeing the mark its hard to tell how old it is but the N with the Crown and the blue writing is most likely to to be Capodimonte. . Sounds like a great piece. you may want to go to http://www.onlinecollectibles.com/faq/capodimonte2.htm to see the different marks and time peroid from this company
