Georges Briard Signed Mid-Century Modern Glass Tray
This item is a clear bent glass serving tray or dish featuring the distinct Mid-Century Modern design aesthetic of Georges Briard. The piece is constructed from clear, slumped glass with elegant curved edges. Centrally located on the bottom (and visible through the glass) is a signature floral or botanical motif screen-printed in a metallic gold or silver-tone finish. This motif includes stylized leaves, floral buds, and abstract circular patterns typical of Briard's 1950s-1960s production. Immediately below the illustration, the copyrighted signature 'georges Briard' is clearly visible in a cursive script. Physically, the tray appears to have three or four integrated glass feet formed by slumping the glass during production. The tray is in good vintage condition, exhibiting high clarity in the glass without immediate signs of chips or deep cracks, though minor surface scratches and faint oxidation to the metallic ink are consistent with its age. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-quality mid-century decorative arts, blending industrial glass techniques with hand-designed graphic elements. This piece represents the 'boutique' mass-market luxury that Briard was famous for during the mid-20th century.
