Wow very nice. I love all types of stained glass. What does the inside look like?

Re: Georges Briard Wood and Glass Box

The inside is all wood surface.

Never made the connection that this was Briard. Interesting. So a-typical to see a Briard piece without his name in a corner somewhere.

His name is in the corner, but it is gold and hard to see because the glass is yellow.

Nice find.  This is a cigarette box from a whole line of decor items Briard did, including end tables, lamps, etc.  I believe the entire line is stained glass over foil.  I have the table lighters in both color scemes.

Nice lighters!  Thank you for sharing them.

I have an unmarked end table that matches the blue and green design that I never though was Briard until now (and I've had the think for at least 10 years). I'll photograph it and post it and we can decide if it is, is not, or might be!

Sounds like you have the Briard end table.  It's square, somewhat diminutive, with slender, tapered legs.  Also, it's vague in my memory, but I seem to recall that the end tables were a three piece nesting set.  I could be wrong, though.
