Georges Briard Strawberry


Hope everyone is enjoying a very happy start to the new year!

Today I'm taking down the Christmas tree,
putting my house back in order,
and finding space for the beautiful gifts I received.

I have to show you what my Mom sent to me;
A vintage Georges Briard bent glass platter in the strawberry pattern.
Isn't it pretty?

Georges Briard  (Jascha Brojdo) was an artist/designer 
known for his barware/kitchenware during the 50's, 60s and 70's.  
I love his fabulous, fruity graphics.

Any Briard collectors out there?

  8. Oh nooo! Keep your decorations up until Twelfth Night! I'm enjoying mine until the 12 days of Christmas are officially over!

    Your platter is beautiful - I've never heard of him before but he had a wonderful sense of style. They remind me a bit of heraldic shields.

    Happy New Year - hope you have a wonderful year ahead.
