I've seen a few such marks on other green wares, not all of them true celadons. Whereas most export porcelain wasn't marked, this type of pseudo mark was employed by some factories or workshops to identify export products.
The pseudo marks I've seen before were on porcelains that apparently were contemporaneous with unmarked dishes in similar patterns but probably by different makers. Since your dish is in a Rose Canton pattern often dated around the 2nd to 4th quarters of the 19th century, I'd speculate it probably was made about that time.
Gerald Davison's 'The New and Revised Mandbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics' has an undated example of this type mark illustrated as No. 3343 on page 239.
Best regards,
