A really gorgeous Couroc of Monterey Tray depicting the classic Foo Dogs! It's hard for me to part with this as it was such a "find" . . . so I won't be disappointed if it takes awhile to sell. Foo Dogs, or guardian lions, symbolize prosperity, success & guardianship.
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 advertisements stated "Any tray can serve a drink. Only Couroc can start a conversation." Still true to this day!
