Question about pottery mark - "X" with the number "1"?

Question about pottery mark - "X" with the number "1"?:- I have a double candy dish I believe it is white with gold gilt. On the back is a mark that looks like either an "X" or crossed lines with the number "1" Any suggestions? It is incised and clear, no underglaze.

Thanks in advance!

No info in this "X" with the number "1" mark at all at present. Anyone else know? Meantime, I'll keep looking so be sure to watch out for further comments.

Update:-

Peter Paul from Glasgow (regular contributor) has an idea of who this mark might be - scroll down to the comments link at bottom of page to view his reply.

Also I have since seen a similar 'X lines' pottery mark associated with Sitzendorf of Germany and also Voigt Brothers (aka Alfred Voigt of Sitzendorf, Thuringia). I am presuming these must be different names for the same factory. Anyone know different?

See other entries on this firm (put 'Sitzendorf' and also 'Voigt' into any on-site search box located around the site).

ps. slightly grumpy side note:

I wish Ruth would have sent in two photos - one of the mark and one of the item.
