Designed and manufactured in the USA during the late 1950s and 1960s, this piece features Briard’s signature 22k gold-gilded overlays, showcasing an intricate floral and paisley motif inspired by traditional Persian art. The dish is crafted from clear glass with the collection's hallmark pebbled, textured underside, which adds a sophisticated depth to the shimmering gold design. At 8 inches, this versatile size is perfect as a high-end serving platter for hors d'oeuvres, an elegant vanity tray for jewelry, or a stylish "catch-all" for a desk or entryway. A must-have for MCM collectors, this piece captures the opulent "cocktail culture" aesthetic of the era.
