Radiating the warmth and optimism of a high-summer East End garden, this bent-glass tray is meticulously handcrafted in our New York studio, embracing the timeless French art of découpage. The vivid sunflower—an homage to Amagansett’s wild coastal fields—captures Ben’s signature eye for the cheerful, the charming and the slightly unexpected. Every tray is individually signed by Ben, affirming its place as a true collectible.
Both practical and poetic, this heirloom piece is food safe, easy to wipe clean, and thoughtfully finished with a felted back to safeguard surfaces in style. Let it brighten a coffee table vignette, catch keys in an entryway, or serve fresh croissants on a sun-drenched breakfast table. Display it upright on a gallery easel or hang it as floral wall art with a plate hanger. Each tray arrives with a folded card detailing the storied découpage process, making it a meaningful gift or a personal keepsake steeped in craftsmanship.

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.
