Georges Briard created his Peace Dove collection during the early 1960s. The glassware and serving pieces are considered Mid-Century Modern and feature gilded doves with Laurel branches in their beaks, flying among other Laurel sprigs and small geometric shapes colored in pink and gold on a matte white ground.

The double bowl tray is molded with upturned rims decorated with a geometric gold leaf and pink running border.

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.
