Soup tureen with ivy and branch raised areas

I'm needing more information about this white ceramic soup tureen. I purchased it at a large indoor flea market. It's top has a raised area of ivy leaves at each end of the branch handle. I thought it was bamboo but believe the top and two base handles which also have ivy on each side of the handles. The base which is translucent has the numbers 8 then 369
And near the bottom of base G D or Gr D. On the rim of the base below the Gr D is the IV. Any information on where it was made, when and manufacture would be appreciated.
