A single word, written with hope and meant to linger. Lucky unfurls in elegant cursive like a blessing passed quietly from one hand to another—romantic, optimistic, and just a little superstitious. Drawn from antique ephemera, the script feels intimate and timeworn, as if it once lived inside a cherished letter or at the corner of a well-loved page.
Handcrafted in our New York City studio using the traditional French art of decoupage, this bent-glass tray is made one at a time—printed imagery carefully layered beneath glass, then fired into permanence. The surface glows softly, with subtle variations that remind you a human hand was involved at every step. Each piece is individually signed by Ben, a small but meaningful mark of authorship and care.
Both beautiful and useful, the tray is food safe, wipe clean, and finished with a felted back. Style it flat on a tabletop, display it upright on a gallery easel, or hang it as a quiet emblem of good fortune. Each arrives with a folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process.

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.
