A lovely set of 8-piece Mid Century Modern small rocks glasses by Georges Briard. The pictures don't do this stunning set justice (we took photos in two different lighting settings to try and capture how stunning the pattern is). The pattern features three "panels" there are a light "powder" blue, white, and gold. Each panel is different (see photo #6). The pattern features an intricate floral design. All glasses are signed. Truly a stunning pattern/set.

A quick summary on this Mid Century glassware manufacturer: 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.
