Hi, please embedded your images as most of our members do not open an unknown link.
Your image embedded;
I believe it could be Dutch pseudo/fake marks; D pseudo year letter (#57), X pseudo mark (?), HD (conjoined) above star, pseudo maker's mark(#139), altered with overstrike of letter R in oval (?)
Please show us an embedded image of the item.
For information about pseudo marks, see;

Hi,
A rather similar mark (HR and star) can be found in Rosenberg, number 1641 (Dessau). Unfortunately the name seems to be unknown and this is a shot in the dark!

No you are right. The D is the town mark for Dessau and the maker's mark could be for Christoph Hieronymus Jacob Richter. Active in Dessau around 1769-1790. Again it is important to see an image of the object and
for Theodrich to confirm.
Peter.
