Couroc of Monterey Heritage Classic Golf Tray
By The Couroc Company
Located in Charleston, SC
I love Couroc trays! They made so many different ones different themes or for different events, that if you look long enough and collect long enough, there is one for everyone. And they make a great unique gift. And maybe because I’m a collector, but I love the idea of collecting these and gifting them when you the right person comes to light and the timing is just right. This tray is a rare one because it was used for promotional purposes and was a small limited edition. So calling all golfers or friends of golfers! They also make great tray for rolling your medicinal smoke.
Couroc History
Whimsical and intricately designed, Couroc trays and barware were produced for more than 40 years by highly skilled artisans in Monterey, California. Due to a unique process of hand-inlaying natural materials and fusing them into phenolic resin, no two Couroc pieces are exactly alike; each vintage mid-century modern piece celebrates unmatched beauty and durability.
The Couroc Company was founded by Guthrie Courvoisier and his wife Moira Wallace in 1948. Prior to creating the company, Courvoisier ran the Courvoisier Galleries in San Francisco, which he inherited from his father in 1934. In 1937, when Walt Disney premiered Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Courvoisier saw a chance to represent a unique line of art - a desire of his that would grow in scope and vision, ultimately leading to the creation of the Couroc Company. In 1938, Disney granted Courvoisier the exclusive right to market their original animation art...

Pair of Vintage Mid-Century Modern Couroc of Monterey Black Trays with Blue Iris
By The Couroc Company
Located in Topeka, KS
I can almost smell the iris on these trays they look so life-like! This pair of beauties are from Couroc of Monterey. One tray is rectangular, and one is somewhat of an oval. Both with matching inlays of iris. They are made of a special black phenolic resin developed by Guthrie Courvoisier and his wife, Moira Wallace. It is impervious to alcohol, alkalis, acids, boiling water, and cigarette burns. Making them perfect for cocktail trays. This pair will look fabulous displayed in your bar area, kitchen, dining room. Or maybe just use it to have breakfast in bed.
Couroc of Monterey was founded by Guthrie Courvoisier in 1948 in…, of course, Monterey, California. They produced resin trays and other serving pieces. Their primary material used was a proprietary formula of phenolic resin Guthrie developed with the help of his wife, Moira Wallace, and named Couroc. Which is an amalgamation of Courvoisier and rock. Implying that Couroc is hard as rock. Moira, as an artist, oversaw design. She gathered together a group of like artists to help her creations come to life. They operated in a somewhat commune situation in the early years using “found” items such as paperclips and springs along with shells and other items they beachcombed to make the amazing inlays. Their resin went through experimentation and changes before the end result which is alcohol proof and impervious to alkalis, acids, boiling water and even cigarette burns. Their products were sold in up-scale retail businesses and remained popular through the 1970s. In the 1980s they began to struggle and were out of business in 1998 after 50 years.
Guthrie Courvoisier, founder of Couroc of Monterey, was born in 1903. He inherited Courvoisier Galleries in San Francisco from his father. Although the gallery was founded in 1905 it didn’t gain recognition until Guthrie made it “The First Name in Disney Art” by being the exclusive gallery for Disney’s animation cels...
