Georges Briard (1917-2005), born Jakub Brojdo in Russia, was a designer and artist who became very popular throughout the 1950s to 1970s. He designed glassware, dishes, and barware, including ice buckets and trays, that were sold in high-end department stores, such as Neiman Marcus and Bonwit Teller. His mid-century, atomic, and kitsch designs had very bright colors and make for fun gifts. He worked with wood, metal, ceramic, and glass. He was awarded the Frank S. Child Lifetime Achievement Award by The Society of Glass and Ceramic Decorators in 2004.A highly sought-after pattern for the collectors. We do have five other glasses from this collection (different toxin names) coming up for auction soon.
