• Owl collector or not: you will love serving from this amazing MCM tray!
• Couroc trays came in several sizes. This is the large size: 12.25" x 18" x 1"
• Couroc trays and bowls (of all many shapes and sizes) were made of a proprietary formula of phenolic resin material that was impervious to alcohol and flames.
• Care: The Couroc company suggested items," ...should not be placed in a dishwasher or scoured in any way. We suggest hand washing in warm water with mild detergent and buffing with a soft cloth...metals used by Couroc may tarnish...we suggest lightly buffing the metal surfaces with a high quality metal polish."
• Read on for more background on The Couroc Company and their products!
• The Couroc Company, founded in 1948 in Monterey, CA, produced beautiful and often whimsical and intricate designs in black resin trays and glassware made by skilled artisans.
• Couroc's founder, Guthrie Courvoisier, worked with a variety of plastics while working in the war effort during WWII. He used his experience and developed a proprietary formula of phenolic resin material that was not only durable enough to form into trays but was also impervious to alcohol and flames.
• Courvoisier's wife, Moira Wallace, acted as Couroc's chief designer and led an art commune of skilled artisans in arranging an array of local items into Couroc's resin pieces. Craftspeople used a combination of materials to inlay the many designs, including colored resin, crushed shell and stone, metal, wire, wood, brass, rhinestones as well as found objects.
• Due to a unique process of hand-inlaying natural materials and fusing them into phenolic resin, no two Couroc pieces are exactly alike.
"Couroc's products were very popular and sold in high-end department stores. Alongside its whimsical designs, the company's saying for its trays stated that "Any tray can serve a drink. Only Couroc can start a conversation."
