#0818 Set of six French glass shot glasses with loop handles, marked "France 12".

4”x2.5” Glassmaking in France has a rich history, with regions like Lorraine and Normandy being particularly famous for their production of fine glassware. French glassmakers have long been associated with quality craftsmanship, producing everything from delicate crystal to functional tableware and decorative items. The "France 12" marking suggests a specific manufacturer or a designation for a set, common in French glassware production.

Shot glasses, or "verres à shot" in French, have been produced in various styles and materials. While often made of simple glass, sets marked with country of origin and a number often indicate a specific period of production, typically mid-20th century, when such sets were popular for home bars and entertaining.
