Need some help identifying the mark on this candlestick, was in a lot i bought and described as french faiance but i dont think it is can someone help please.

I found a similar mark. It appears to be the letter F over the letter C. This can possibly be the mark for a porcelain company called Fourmaintraux in operation in France since the 1800’s. I also found an item with alike pattern as yours. If this is an original it could be very valuable. I will do more research.

The extra marks are likely decorators marks and can be different even on similar items !! Depends on who decorates that particular piece !! They will have more than one person who paints these before firing !! Does not add any value unless signed by a known decorator !!

I can’t see it being any other mark. I found an item being sold as Fourmaintraux on RubyLane with same mark except with what looks like a small e. As yours is an x. I love a good mystery!
