A single red sentinel against a field of quiet parchment. The Argentinian Red Ladybug rests at center—small, deliberate, impossibly vivid—like a dot of sealing wax on a handwritten letter. Its lacquered wings and inky spots feel both scientific and romantic, as though lifted from a 19th-century naturalist’s notebook discovered in a sun-warmed study in Buenos Aires.
There is something deeply reassuring about a ladybug. In gardens across continents, it is considered a sign of protection and prosperity. Here, preserved beneath glass, it becomes a modern talisman—minimal, graphic, and quietly joyful. A study in restraint. A whisper of luck.
Handcrafted in our New York City studio using the traditional French art of decoupage, each bent-glass tray is created one at a time. The artwork is laid in reverse beneath glass and fired into permanence, resulting in a luminous surface with subtle variations that make every piece uniquely personal. Each tray is individually signed by Ben, a quiet signature of craftsmanship and care.
Food safe and wipe clean with a felted back, it is as practical as it is poetic—ready to hold rings on a bedside table, citrus at cocktail hour, or to stand upright on a gallery easel as a small work of art. Every tray arrives with a folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process.
A little luck from the Southern Hemisphere. Captured. Kept. Cherished.
