Vintage Couroc of Monterey Hand-Inlaid 8.5" Trays - Pair of 2 (Ring Neck Pheasant & Eagle Shield) - Rare Kalium Chemicals Limited Edition Corporate Premium Up for auction or buy-it-now is a fantastic pair of vintage mid-century modern 8.5-inch square trays crafted by the renowned Couroc of Monterey, California. This lot features two distinct, highly collectible designs featuring intricate hand-inlaid materials fused into Couroc’s famous, durable satin black phenolic resin. Both of these trays were produced as a special, limited-run corporate premium for Kalium Chemicals, complete with their original gold foil authenticity labels intact on the reverse side. At 8.5 inches, these are the highly versatile medium-sized square pieces, perfect for use as luncheon plates, salad plates, or small cocktail serving trays. What’s Included: Ring Neck Pheasant Tray (8.5"): Features a stunning, detailed inlay of a pheasant in mid-flight utilizing multi-colored wood grains and fine metallic details. Eagle Shield Tray (8.5"): A striking patriotic design featuring a split-style American Eagle graphic on the left and a warm wood veneer crest shield on the right, accented by a red, white, and blue shield emblem. Condition: Overall Vintage Condition: Good, pre-owned condition with signs of light wear consistent with age and regular vintage use. Surface: Both trays show typical, light surface scuffs and minor scratches visible under direct lighting, as is standard for vintage Couroc pieces. No deep gouges, cracks, or chips. Inlays: The hand-inlaid wood and metallic details remain completely intact, vibrant, and flush against the resin background. Backside: The embossed "Couroc Monterey, California" hallmark is clean and crisp on both pieces. The original gold foil labels for both the "Ring Neck Pheasant" and "Eagle Shield" are still affixed, though showing minor vintage wear. About Couroc of Monterey: Founded in 1948 by Guthrie Sayle Courvoisier and Moira Wallace, Couroc pieces are highly prized by mid-century modern enthusiasts. Every tray was meticulously hand-inlaid by master craftsmen using natural materials like wood veneers, metals, and shells fused into a proprietary satin-black material. This unique compound was marketed as being completely impervious to alcohol, acids, and boiling water, making these trays as functional as they are beautiful.
