Vintage black tidbit tray with an inlaid design depicting three roadrunners are made with different varieties of inlaid wood and brass. Marked on reverse “Couroc of Monterey California”.
The Couroc Company was a Monterey California company that produced many different types and shapes of trays, boxes, ashtrays and glassware from 1948 until their closure in the early 1990s. Their products have become and remain collectible because of their high quality and beauty.
Guthrie Courvoisier, owner of Courvoisier Galleries in San Francisco formed Couroc in 1948. His wife, Moira Wallace was a designer that was involved in designing and manufacturing - sometimes even
'signing' her work. Couroc was formed in Monterey - -
-an area that held strong artistic communities at the time.(and remains to today)
Couroc trays were always expensive. Couroc was very high end and only sold by top merchants.
Having your own Couroc design (as in the Hotel Del Coranado, for example) was a status symbol.
Offered in this listing is a beautiful example of the extraordinary quality by Couroc.
The impervious all black tray frames an image of three Roadrunners, expertly achieved by inlaying different colors of wood.
The bottom of the tray is marked, raised, "COUROC, Monterey, California". The gold sticker is still present
It is in really good, used condition, with just a few minor scuffs from light use - no chips or cracks.
Condition is used. There is light overall wear from age and use. The goldtone handle has some wear to the finish. Please zoom all photos for condition details. less
