This 'G' stands for Gräfenthal, a town in Thuringia, East Germany.

But at first I thought this mark might be Greiner & Herda, which is the only G H mark I could find in my books - but the mark was not quite the same as the most recorded mark of GH which has only three prongs and the G and H are either side of the crown, not underneath. The crown was the same graphic style apart from the number of the prongs. Greiner & Herda are a Bavarian firm from Oberkotzau, Greiner & Herda were founded in 1898 (some records state 1886). At first they were just decorators, but success led to making their own stuff. They mainly offered a range of highly decorated household items especially coffee and tea sets. The company was taken over in 1943 by Hans Neuerer and renamed Porzellanfabrik Neuerer. You can contact them as I think they still operate - www.porzellan-selb.de.

Now that you know they are from this factory....V.E.B. Porzellanfiguren Gräfenthal ..you can search through auction sites such as ebay...to see what prices are being asked for ornaments from this maker...Or you can list them on said site with a low start price...with a reserve..and see what the market does for them....
