This is love, written plainly and without restraint. My Dearest, With All My Heart reads like the closing line of a letter meant to be kept forever—bold, declarative, and deeply sincere. Pulled from vintage typography and set against a warm blush ground, the words feel both intimate and resolute, as if spoken once and meant to last a lifetime.
Handcrafted in our New York City studio using the traditional French art of découpage, each bent-glass tray is made one at a time, layering antique imagery beneath glass and firing it into permanence. The surface glows softly, with subtle variations that ensure no two pieces are exactly alike. Every tray is individually signed by Ben, a quiet mark of authorship and care.
Food-safe, wipe-clean, and finished with a felted back, this piece is as functional as it is sentimental—perfect for holding letters, jewelry, or small keepsakes, or displayed upright as a declaration of feeling. Each tray arrives with a folded card detailing the time-honored découpage process that makes it enduring.

The French call it découpage, pronounced day-coo-pahzh. It flourished in the salons of 18th-century France, where paper, patience, and a steady hand turned everyday objects into works of art.
Ben honors the French technique, in reverse. The artwork goes on the underside of the glass, by hand, so you look through the glass to see it. Nothing sits on the surface. The image seems to float, lit from within, the way a pressed flower looks when you hold it up to a window.
Every design starts with something Ben discovered or created. A pattern he drew. A botanical plate or a scrap of antique paper carried home from a market in Europe, chosen because it meant something.
Decoupage is a science of perfection. Each piece is made slowly in our New York studios by a talented team of artists, patient and exacting, who will not settle for less than a perfect result. Each one is backed in felt, so it can rest safely on a cocktail table, and signed by the artist, Ben Busko.
Each tray is decoupaged by hand beneath the glass. A little care keeps the artwork beautiful.
Suitable for hanging with a plate hanger or standing on a gallery easel.
