Value of Georges Briard Glasses?

A set of decorative drinking glasses.Hello, I have acquired these glasses but am unsure of the pattern name. They are also unsigned, like other Georges Briard glasses. I think he was the designer, I have only found one other listing for glasses like they but they were taller. Any help is appreciated.

I don't believe your glasses are by Georges Briard. These 4 Georges Briard glasses sold for $212.50 on 9/11/22:
www.ebay.com/.../155148006285?hash=item241f8ab38d... A bit of history behind Georges Briard: He was born in Ukraine & named Jakub Brojdo & raised in Poland. He changed his name to Jascha (Yascha) Brojdo when he moved to Chicago in 1937 to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. His friend Max Wille came up with the name Georges Briard to mark commercial pieces. As Georges Briard, Brodjo became an American award-winning designer, his designs stocked at high end department stores, such as Neiman Marcus.

Georges Briard designs became hugely popular throughout the 1950s to 70s...but is most notable for the Mid Century Modern, Atomic & later 70s Kitsch designs. The Georges Briard signature can be found on everything from glass, ceramics, metal, wood, glasses, trays, coffee pots, dishes & more. In 2004, Brodjo was awarded the Frank S. Child Lifetime Achievement Award by The Society of Glass and Ceramic Decorators, in honor of his extraordinary contributions to the glass and ceramic decorating industry. Brodjo died in 2005, in New York at age 88.

I know that all Briard glassware has his name (each piece), this why I doubt that you have Georges Briard glasses.

Your glasses are what is commonly called 'knock-offs/fake/copy' as the designer himself also stated that all of his work was signed.
From website:

"His work is easy to identify, as much of it is done in 22K gold and is always signed."

This is the only listing that I could find of this design, which as you stated; taller glasses.
However, these are signed, which means your glasses' value cannot be compared to this sale.
www.1stdibs.com/.../

If you decide to list your glasses for sale, please do not state they are George Briard glasses, as this could be considered fraud. However, you can usually state they are George Briard style/design, but the value may not be very high.
You can always start your listing at a higher price with offers considered and see how it goes. You may have to lower your price but, then again, maybe not,
Just be sure to be honest.
List on Facebook Marketplace for sure.

It was really difficult to say they were not 'genuine' as I could find nothing different about the design in the ones online (with the signature) and your glasses.

Is the signature this faint on all the glasses? I hope not, but I'm glad because you can now list them as authentic and price them at true value.
I did not mean to imply that you would list them incorrectly, but we see people making honest mistakes about their items, and no one wants that to happen.
