Georges Briard created his Butterfly collection for his 1969 catalogue.

The glassware serving pieces are considered Mid-Century Modern and feature a variety of gilded butterflies flying with smaller leaf and celestial motifs colored in gold on a pebbled transparent ground. The platter is molded of bent glass with upturned rims.

Georges Briard created award-winning designs for items including glasses, trays, coffeepots and dishes in materials like glass, ceramics, metal, wood, and gold-plated serveware. His serveware was especially popular from the 1950s to ’70s. It was produced by companies including Culver, Pfaltzgraff and Medina Glass and sold at high-end department stores like Neiman Marcus and Bonwit Teller. Briard’s designs were found in the homes of the most fashionable hosts of the mid-century. Today, they are highly prized by collectors.
