A woman named Esta Huttner owned the Peerless Art Company in Brooklyn and had perfected a method of applying the raised gold decoration for Briard glassware. With her expertise, hyalyn was able to incorporate the raised gold onto their porcelain. The hyalyn designs, called "Midas" epitomized Briard's sophisticated yet whimsical abstractions. These pieces are probably the most popular hyalyn collector pieces today. Bottom is marked hyalyn USA.
