I thought this was a 21 pc. Haus Dresden HDR6 demitasse set, but the marking on the bottom of the pieces doesn't look to be right. If it is Haus Dresden, I believe it to be 1940's or 50's. I'm looking for insights on what it could mean, thank you in advance!

Hi, Silver_Sapphire. :-)
Insofar as I have been able to determine, Haus Dresden china should have a backstamp that looks like this:

Haus Dresden china, despite what its name suggests, was not made in Dresden:
*snip*
Haus Dresden, Western Germany. c.1940's-50's. Marketers/Exporters. Found on a set of china purchased in 1955 by Richard Joslin of Vero Beach, Florida. Richard was a member of the U.S. Army at the time and stationed in Bavaria near Stuttgart, Germany, where he was able to purchase this set for his mother. Based on a pamphlet that came with the set, Haus Dresden appears to have been a brand name used for marketing and exporting china. They most likely special ordered their china from one of the German factories such as Schumann or Rosenthal who actually produced, decorated, and personalized it for Haus Dresden by stamping it with the Haus Dresden mark. No other marks on found on the china.

Here is a demitasse set with a Haus Dresden backstamp (it's green instead of gold, but otherwise looks very similar to the Haus Dresden backstamp at efineantiques):

I think you're correct to think that the backstamp on your pieces doesn't look right. Not only does it look nothing like the other Haus Dresden backstamps, there is no export information.
I don't think your pieces are Haus Dresden.
