After a while, you learn — the subtle wisdom that comes only with time, and living, and a few lessons learned the hard way. This tray holds that hard-won grace in vintage typeset on a natural cream background, quiet and knowing in the way the best truths tend to be.
In the French tradition of découpage, the bent-glass tray is handcrafted in our New York studio and individually signed by Ben. It is food safe and wipe clean, the back side felted, and it is equally lovely hung with a plate hanger, poised on a gallery easel, or gathering small keepsakes on a dresser. A folded card explaining the time-honored découpage process accompanies each piece.
Give it to someone stepping into a new chapter, or keep it close as a reminder of how far you've already come.

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.
So adorable and wrapped so beautifully! Gave it to my daughter as a small housewarming gift when she moved into her new apartment. Great company to work with and the most heartfelt items! Obsessed.
I have this to a friend who just purchased a new home and is getting re-married. We are both huge S&TC fans, and Mr. Big's quote is absolutely appropriate. The dish is beautiful...thick and gorgeous and completely lined with felt on the back so it won't scratch the furniture. I initially thought this was expensive, but after getting it I realized how it was totally worth the price.
Great item, attractive packaging, prompt delivery. Couldn't be more pleased.
