20 Cents!!
That's right. I paid 20 cents for this hand painted plate at Value Village today. You can't see it in the picture but that is metallic gold paint. I Googled Georges Briard and he popped right up. His handpainted plates sold in Nieman Marcus and Bonwit Teller in the 50's, 60's and 70's. I am guessing that this plate was part of a store display. Georges Briard was the name artist Jascha Brojdo signed on the back of his commercial products. Jascha served on the staff of Gen. George S. Patton as an Army interpreter. Does anyone else wonder if this was a tribute to the General? Hard to believe it is just a coincidence.
