$40.00Pair of Vintage Couroc Inlaid Wood and Brass Butterfly Dishes
Couroc plate and bowl made of satin black Phenolic, impervious to alcohol and boiling water (according to the stickers on the seats). Phenolic is a very durable, nice looking resin which pool balls are made of.
Couroc formed this resin into beautiful decorative objects. The inlay was done by hand using woods, metals, shells and coins. Then it was fused it into the phenolic. It was a great product, the inlaid decor will stay in these inlaid wood and brass butterfly dishes for at least a million years…really… it will never degrade. The butterflies were inlaid with wood, shell and brass.
Signs of wear include some very unobservable scratches, and some patina formed on the brass. The patina can be cleaned off to produce bright and shiny brass, but most people like to keep the patina intact.

Retro Mushroom Kitchen Canister Set Plus Napkin Holder
Set of Sears and Roebuck Retro Mushroom Kitchen Canister Set and napkin holder in like-new condition. Everybody loved mushrooms in the 1970s. It’s not often that we find mushroom decor relics of the era in complete unused sets, especially in kitchen products. But this full set of four canisters, including a napkin holder, are scarce examples in pristine condition.
Marked on the base ‘Sears and Roebuck, 1978, Japan’. Are you old enough to remember those massive Sears Roebuck catalogs? They were like archaic low tech precursers to internet shopping where one could find absolutely anything. Kids would anxiously await the Fall issue to assemble their Christmas lists, moms would mail order fashion, textiles and kitchen supplies, Dads would look for the latest tools and electronics, and little boys would keep a copy under the bed to peruse the Lingerie section in privacy.
In the 1970s, U.S. manufacturing was steadily declining and we imported most of our products from Japan. These were made in Japan of white ceramic with handpainted decor and offered exclusively through Sears and Roebuck.
Large flour size canister measures 11½” tall, 7½” wide at base with a widest circumference of 25″. Others measure 9½” tall, 6″ wide base; 8″ tall, 5: wide base; and smallest measures 6½” tall on a 4″ wide base. The napkin/bill holder measures 5″ tall, 5″ wide and 2″ thick. All in like-new condition.
