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?

Strawberry Sweet gift from your mother. . .
I am not familiar with Briard but you will find me searching him out now.
Happy Day of dismantling . . . and Happy New Year!
What fabulous vintage fun! I've never heard of him, but -of course- I'll spot it everywhere now! LOL
Happy Happy New Year to you and yours!
That's ONE collectible I have not heard of but now I'll be looking for them. Happy New Year!
This is the first time I've heard of Briard. It's a beautiful platter! I'll have to be on the lookout for his work now.
Happy New Year!!
This is the first I've heard of the gentleman, but your new platter is beautiful! I'm just taking a break from putting away the Christmas things, so I know what a big project you're tackling too:@)
Love learning something new! Thanks, I had never heard of him.
Your plate is a wonderful piece, somehow I see chocolate covered strawberries on it!
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.
I haven't seen or heard of these, but your platter is beautiful.I'll keep an eye out now. Hope your New Year is a happy one!
I adore the platter. I am not familiar with the artist but I'll be looking at his work now!

What a pretty platter. I also never heard of Briard but if there's more like this around, I'll be looking.
I never heard of Briard either-- the secret is out now! Love strawberries too! Some day I plan to have a strawberry themed kitchen!
