About the designer: Couroc of Monterey was launched in Monterey CA by Guthrie Courvoisier and his wife (Guthrie was also an art gallery owner, who was one of the first to sell Disney animation cels as art back in the day). Guthrie pulled together a team of talented artisans to make black resin trays "impervious to heat and alcohol" and typically embedded with natural shell, stone chips and wood, as well as assorted glassware from the 1940s and up until the early 90s.
