This mark is on the bottom of a reticulated bowl that comes from the family estate of a friend of mine. Anyone recognize it? Thanks, in advance, for any help!

It was not unusual for companies or individuals to buy "blanks" from china companies and decorate them. The stamp could be the mark of the decorating company and not neccesarily H.S.

This site references a book that has the Selb's marks listed. Also if you look at the items they are selling there are several different back stamps.
