The trip was to visit Dunkerque, Compiegne and Reims. The Galle glass company was one the most influential in the history of glass making at the turn of the 20th century. The glasses measure 2.5" in diameter and 3/4" in height. They weight 124 grams and 137 grams. These glasses belonged to my grand mother and were given to me upon her death in 1965. The writing says "Emperor Nicolas II" "Souvenir September 1901" & Emperatrice Alexandra Feodorovna" See less
