A neat set of 3 Mid Century Modern Georges Briard Pop Art "Heinz" glasses. These whimsical glasses feature various Heinz products including Pork & Beans, Tomato Soup, and Green Pea Soup. The front "soup labels" are different than the "back label" (to mimic the front and back of a real labeled can). These glasses are the epitome of the whimsical nature of Georges Briard patterns during the Mid Century. The vibrant enameled pattern is truly stunning. Truly a neat and rare set.
A quick summary about 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.
