Couroc of Monterey was started in Monterey, California in 1948 by Guthrie Sayle Courvoisier and his wife of 7 years (they were married in 1941) Moira Wallace. If the name Courvoisier sounds familiar, it may be from Disney animation cels as Guthrie was the first art dealer to recognize the value in Disney animation cels and brought them to market through his art gallery, Courvoisier Galleries in San Francisco. Early Courvoisier cels are still the most valued animation cels on the market.Contact Danish Modern San DIego to purchase this Couroc of Monterey California Poppy tray and plates set.
His wife, Moira Wallace, was an artist at Disney Studios in Burbank. As chief designer for Couroc, she conceptualized many of the Couroc motifs, as well as worked on some of the inlay techniques involving woods, metals, shells, coins, plants, and crystals. Some of the coral and shells used for inlay were sourced along the Pacific coast in Monterey. The abalone, coral, and seaweed used was collected by skin divers among the rugged rocks along the Monterey Coast.Couroc employed many artists who were creative with their inlay techniques, especially the early motifs made with common items like springs, screws, glitter, safety pins and paper clips. Moira employed some of her friends to inlay the early pieces. The craftsmen (Couroc term from one of their labels) signed their work sometimes, including Moira. Domestic Buyers
