This is an unusual frosted wine glass. I didn't think much of it until I shone my UV torch on it as it was with a blue one and looked modern. It has FRANCE moulded into the base but no other marks.

I have 8 of these in a champagne flute shape. I never found where they were made or how. Mine seem to be coated with some sort of flourescent paint as they can get scratched!
Hello Adele, yes mine seems to be the same. I do think it's clear uranium glass, which shows best if you shine a UV light up through the stem, and it has then been frosted. Apparently this is done by acid etching or sand blasting. I'll keep looking for a maker.
I've now seen some similar blue ones online which are attributed to Luminarc, who are a strong possibility.
I had a look and the blue ones seemed to be called Techno. I'll post my Champagne glasses so you can compare!
Yes yours look to be by the same maker, the France on the bottom matches exactly. There seems to be a shortage of information about French glass online but I'll keep looking. The blue ones I saw were on sale on Etsy.
