The Couroc Company, founded in 1948 in Monterey, CA, produced beautiful & often whimsical black resin trays & glassware made by skilled artisans. Couroc's founder, Guthrie Courvoisier, worked w/ a variety of plastics while working in the war effort during WWII. He used his experience & developed a proprietary formula of phenolic resin material that was not only durable enough to form into trays but was also impervious to alcohol & flames. Courvoisier's wife, Moira Wallace, acted as Couroc's chief designer & led an art commune of skilled artisans in arranging an array of local items into Couroc's resin pieces.
Couroc's products were very popular & 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”
