I recently purchased a set of small silver French shotglasses. I cannot identify the maker's mark. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. The shotglasses are aobu 1.5 inches tall, and the mouth of the shotglass is about 1 inch around. They weigh less than 1/2 ounce each.
The Minerva mark is on the rim of each one. You know what that looks like, so I didn't post it.

How do you identify the upper hallmark with the bird and letter w?
I have the pastry tongs with the same hallmark, but failed to identify.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks you, Tom, indeed,admin wrote:It is an Austrian import mark used from 1954. The 4 indicates .800 fineness, the W is for Vienna.
Regards, Tom
I suspected something like that but was confused by combination of that hallmark and mark by French maker.
Now everything is placed on the right places.
Thanks once more.
