What is Couroc made of?
Couroc refers to products developed and sold by the Couroc Company, a manufacturer of barware, glassware and trays. The brand is popular with collectors of mid-century modern furniture and was founded by husband-and-wife duo Guthrie Sayle Courvoisier and Moira Wallace in Monterey, California, during the late 1940s.
