Crystal glass bird

Very heavy crystal glass bird. I am not sure if it is a candy dish or candle holder, it is etched on the bottom what looks like a wine glass with the word France under it . I found it at a garage sale covered in dirt and candle wax . It is rather large and heavy and I can not seem to find any info on the maker or if it is older? It cleaned up nicely and is very sparkly! Any info would be great!
