This tray features a fish shack done in wood inlay and a ladder and "sign" in brass, the sign reads "Fresh Fish". The Couroc founders began their company in 1948 after stints at Walt Disney and working as contractors during World War 2 creating strong resins and plastics for the war effort. Post war, they dedicated their efforts to combining their artistic whims and inventions into home and gift wares. Their proprietary invention, phenolic resin, was branded as "alcohol and burn resistant".
