Hi!
Just wondered if someone could help me identify the maker of this piece of glasss.  The base reads ART ? France  and is etched in a diamond shape.

Any pointers would be greatly received.

Many Thanks

Welcome to the board. I suspect it says Arte Vannes, though your pictures are way too low resolution and big to see. Just resize a high resolution picture so that that longest dimension is about 700 pixels and the size should be about right.

Images resized to a more practical dimensions and a closeup of the mark added.

As Christine says, Art Vannes, France.

Mark and a different bird from the same maker.

Any ideas on which birds they may represent?
