Couroc Monterey California Mid-Century Modern Vintage Tray - Poodle & Butterfly

Description

This is a beautiful-condition late-1950s to 1960s mid-century serving tray made by Couroc of Monterey, California. They were famous for creating these trays with neat designs that were inlaid using different materials. This one has a large poodle which is made up of many pieces of colored material. It has 5 copper pieces making up the collar. The butterfly is outlined in aluminum with mother of pearl insert.
The tray is in excellent condition, no chips or cracks. Measures 12.25" x 17-7/8". I'm not sure if it is some type of plastic or Bakelite. Normally there is a gold foil label on back; this one was probably removed when washed. The only flaw I can see anywhere is a very tiny chip on one of the four small raised feet on the very bottom. A super cool piece especially if you love poodles.
