A stunning set of 6 Georges Briard glasses that feature a gold bamboo pattern against a frosted background. The pictures don't do the pattern justice. Truly a stunning set.
A quick summary on this glassware maker: Georges Briard was the go-to for decorative housewares in the 1950s and 60s and was carried at upscale retails like Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus. Briard’s success and notoriety came with the use of 22-karat gold as screened decoration for bent glassware. His design hallmarks are repetitive patterns, most often featuring geometric shapes or nature based images. Georges Briard is known for creating some of the most stunning Mid Century Modern glassware as well as Atomic and Kitsch designs in the later 1970s and is the essence of MCM glassware excellence.
Maker / era: Georges Briard, 1960s
Hallmarks: All glasses are signed "Georges Briard" in gold cursive
Measurements: 5 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" in diameter
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The gold is vibrant and completely in tact. No chips or nicks. Please note: there's a subtle "seam" on all glasses (purely how the frosted part of the pattern was applied and common with Mid Century glassware such as this, see photo #8 where our finger is pointing). In short, these glasses are in very, very good vintage condition and are simply breath-taking.
**On shipping: We take our packaging very seriously and carefully wrap all pieces to ensure safe delivery.
****Important to note pre-purchase: Buyers, please examine all photos carefully as we cannot accept returns due to the fragile nature (the possibility of breakage or damage when being shipped back) of our vintage/antique pieces.
