Since we now know that it's a written (ink?) inscription rather than a label, I'd guess at an amateur or small-scale maker (there were, and are, a great many) but I know next-to-nothing about the French trade and might be completely wrong, particularly if a stamp was used. You should be able to tell if it was written or stamped by looking carefully at the surface.
