About corico

While at a bead shop with my mom, she leaned in close and whispered, "you should make your own beads." I literally covered my ears because the idea seemed so complicated and overwhelming and I had two little kids at home. Although...(quickly rethinking my obstinance) I figured those two little kids would probably love some clay to play around with. Long story short, just a few months later, I was shopping for a kiln! That was 2009. I named my company after my daughters, Coco and Cori (or Cori and Coco, really). Ok, so a few years after getting that kiln, I was at a party with friends, putting out a dish of olives and another little dish with a chewed up pit in it so everyone would know where to discard their pits. I wondered why no one had made a serving dish that would be both elegant for serving and practical in hiding the pits; I wanted one! Since I had the kiln and the know-how ... I set out to make this olive boat that would also hide the pits! What I came up with is simple, clever, and the reaction I most often get is, "Why didn't I think of that? You know, that would be great for cherries". Enter ... the cherry bowl :) They're called the olive boat and the cherry bowl, but really, they are great for all sorts of things like: pistachios, dates, shrimp cocktail, shishito peppers, strawberries, and more! So here you have it - jewelry to make you look good, serving dishes to make your table look good - all conversation starters to boot! :) Read their story
