Hi! Portugal is known for its beautiful pottery and countless pottery factories! What this sounds like ("authorized copy") is a piece that has met rigid artistic/manufacturing standards for reproduction by an institution.. perhaps a museum, that has permitted replicas of their collection for sale in their shop. And... typically when a dealer buys out an estate, he buys it all ... whether antique or not.. to acquire the "plum" pieces he wanted. You might ask him to attempt to research it for you or try to find some information from another dealer (I don't know what it looks like and can't find the mark ..either in books or on-line) but the bottom line is.. if you love it.. that's all that counts... but just know that it's most likely true to the original.. however in age, likely vintage, at best. I hope that this helped a bit!

I do need help. The mark looks like a human being seated
On the earth, with knees drawn up into the chest,
and arms clasped around the knees. Like a fetal position
Seen from the side, and seated, not lying down,on the ground, no and the words Made in Portugal
