Hi Nick.
It is European, but not French. It is a typical product from Silesia or the Lauscha region of Germany. Typical canes, typical spatter cushion for the canes, typical flat not highly polished base. See pages 308 to 312 of Peter von Brackell's 2010 book 'Classic Paperweights from Silesia / Bohemia' for very similar pieces. I'm afraid some of the older American (and UK) books are a bit dodgy on certain aspects of paperweight ID.
