Georges Briard was the professional name of Jascha Brojdo, born in Ukraine in 1917 and raised in Poland before he emigrated to Chicago in 1937. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and served in the U.S. Army during World War II as a Russian interpreter on General Patton's staff. After the war he began painting metal serving trays in New York for Max Wille, who came up with the "Georges Briard" name for his commercial work, and the line grew into glassware, barware, and serving pieces sold in elite shops such as Neiman Marcus and Bonwit Teller. Briard was a designer rather than a manufacturer, and in 2004 he received the Society of Glass and Ceramic Decorators' Frank S. Child Lifetime Achievement Award.
