Some decorative objects simply make people smile.

This enchanting vintage Couroc of Monterey tray captures the timeless charm of a mythical unicorn resting peacefully within a flowering meadow, framed by a rustic fence beneath a blooming tree. Executed in Couroc's celebrated combination of hand-inlaid brass, wood veneers, and richly colored graphics, the composition glows beautifully against the company's signature satin-black phenolic surface.

The graceful unicorn, outlined almost entirely in polished brass, is accented with delicate ivory detailing, a soft blue ribbon, and flowing mane and tail, while tiny blue wildflowers and warm wood fencing create remarkable depth and warmth. Above, a flowering tree blossoms in brass and ivory, completing a composition that feels equal parts fairy tale and Mid-Century Modern illustration.

Freshly cleaned and carefully polished, including the extensive brass inlay, the tray displays with exceptional richness and luster. Whether displayed as wall art, incorporated into a fantasy-inspired collection, or used as an elegant serving piece, it represents the imaginative craftsmanship that made Couroc one of California's most beloved decorative arts studios.

An outstanding acquisition for collectors of Couroc, Mid-Century Modern design, California decorative arts, fantasy motifs, unicorn collectibles, or vintage cocktail decor.
