Wonderful Couroc of Monterey tray depicting Faneuil Hall in Boston, the "Cradle of Liberty".
The tag tells the story:
"Faneuil Hall: Given as a gift to Boston in 1742 by Peter Faneuil.
The first story used as a market and the upper story as a town hall. Before and during the revolution patriotic meetings were held, which kept alive the fires of freedom, from which fact the hall became known as “The Cradle of Liberty”. The gilded Grasshopper weathervane symbol of trade guided the ships to port.
Hand inlaid exclusively for Shreve, Crump and Low".
The Couroc Company was founded by Guthrie Courvoisier and his wife Moira Wallace, who was an artist, in 1948. They designed and made thousands of trays, bowls & accessories which were hand inlaid by master craftsmen using shells, coins, woods & metals. Each piece is one of a kind. Sadly, Couroc stopped production of these beautiful trays in 1998.
One of the company's advertisement states "Any tray can serve a drink. Only Couroc can start a conversation." Still true to this day.
The tray measures 18" wide, 12.375" tall &. 75" deep
