About the Item

A Mid-Century Modern Era cheese board tray by Couroc of Monterey, California (1948-1998) – circa 1960s. Made of a black resin called ‘Phenolic’ and hand inlaid with natural woods and a hardwood cutting surface made of New England Sugar Maple. The word cheese is spelled out in a variety of inlaid woods with the names of popular cheeses in various black typefaces. The Couroc Company produced graphic, whimsical trays made by skilled artisans. Founder Guthrie Courvoisier developed a material “impervious to alcohol, boiling water and cigarette burns,” according to their label. Courvoisier’s wife, Moira Wallace, Couroc’s chief designer, led a commune of artists who used an array of local materials as inlay into these resin pieces. Couroc’s products were very popular and sold by high-end retailers. “Any tray can serve a drink. Only Couroc can start a conversation.” 15.5 in. L x 10.75 in. W x 1.5 in. H Still showing the original label on the verso, and the raised molded signature, Couroc, Monterey, California. The expected light wear.
