Mid-Century Modern Georges Briard 'Pyramid' Glass Canapé Plates, Set of 8

This is a set of eight vintage square glass canapé or appetizer plates featuring the iconic 'Pyramid' or 'Target' concentric square design by renowned Mid-Century designer Georges Briard. Each plate measures approximately 4 to 5 inches square and is constructed from clear, slumped glass with modern curved corners and a slightly upturned rim. The primary decorative element consists of silkscreened concentric white geometric squares flowing toward the center, creating an Op-Art visual effect. A distinctive 22-karat gold-plated trim finishes the edge of each plate, a hallmark of Briard’s signature style from the 1950s and 1960s. While Georges Briard's signature is often incorporated in gold within the design, it is not explicitly legible in the overhead photograph but is typically located near the bottom edge. The plates appear to be in good vintage condition with clear glass and vibrant white graphics; however, there is visible minor wear and thinning to the gold gilt edges on several pieces, which is common for glassware of this age that has been handled. No significant chips or cracks are immediately apparent. The craftsmanship reflects the high-quality commercial glass production of the mid-20th century American cocktail culture.
