Before inboxes buzzed and urgency was automated, importance was declared in ink. This tray borrows its authority from another century, when words arrived with weight and a single stamp could command attention. The bold proclamation sits centered on a warm, timeworn ground, framed by ornate Victorian flourishes that once elevated everyday correspondence into something ceremonial. It feels archival, deliberate, and quietly commanding, a reminder that some things are still worth slowing down for.
Handcrafted in our New York studio using the French tradition of découpage, this bent-glass tray reflects Ben’s enduring fascination with historical typography and symbolic language. The vintage typeset is layered beneath glass through a meticulous, time-honored process that gives the surface depth and permanence. Each piece is individually signed by Ben, felted on the back, and accompanied by a folded card that shares the story of the craft behind it.
Both practical and poetic, the tray is food-safe, wipe clean, and versatile enough to live many lives. Use it to hold letters, keys, sweets, or the small essentials you refuse to overlook. Display it flat, hang it with a plate hanger, or let it stand proudly on a gallery easel. A simple object with presence and purpose, designed to remind you that what matters deserves to be seen.
