Couroc of California Roadrunner Tumbler or Hi Ball Glass, Mid Century Barware. Couroc of California pieces were the wedding and shower present of choice from 1950's to the 1980's as well as a gift for special occasions and at the holidays. Couroc was located in Monterey, California and produced many different types and shapes of trays, boxes, ashtrays and glass barware.
The company was founded by Guthrie Courvoisier, owner of Courvoisier Galleries in San Francisco in 1948, Courvoisier worked for Disney prior to founding his company. While working for Disney he designed the first commercially available animation cels, these cels are still known as Courvoisier Cels. His wife, Moira Wallace was a designer and was involved in the designing and manufacturing of the Couroc designs, on rare occasions she personally signed her work.
Couroc employed many skilled artisans during the early years, the artists carefully arranged bits and pieces of common metal items such as springs, screws, glitter, safety pins and paper clips, shells, corral, woods and coins into a special material called black satin black phenolic. This material is resistant to alcohol and boiling water, but is not dishwasher safe. The pattern on this tray features a blue bird with a red breast seated on branch with red leaves.
This tumbler is the hi ball size, 3 1/2 inches tall and 3 1/4 inches across, have a gold trim on the rim and are in excellent condition. Please see our other listing for additional pieces of Couroc in this pattern as well as other patterns. |
