What is this backstamp? A script R with a cross at the top.

I recently purchased this cute little cup and saucer. Both are marked with the same capital R in a script font that has a cross bar over the extended upright of the R. I have tried searching for R as a backstamp with no luck. Can anyone tell me who would have made these?

Many Thanks

All I can find is........... Joseph - Gaspard Robert............( mostly on reproductions made ca late 19th century at Paris Porcelain Workshops ). Originals extremely rare - Marseilles France ca 1770's - 1790's . Hope it helps...lol
