This gorgeous inlaid resin tray by Couroc of Monterey, California is a Mid-Century enthusiast must-have! The beautiful brightly colored resin and brass hot air balloon design was hand laid by hand and is a beautiful example of vintage craftsmanship.
The Couroc Company, founded in 1948 in Monterey, CA, produced beautiful and often whimsical 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.
This tray measures 18 long and 12 1/2 tall with a 1/2 lip.
The tray is in great vintage condition.
