Behind every good kid is a good mom — the steady hand, the packed lunches, the faith that never once wavered. This tray gathers that truth into a single charming illustration, drawn in Ben's unmistakable eye for the sweet and the slightly unusual, a small tribute to the woman who made it all look effortless.
Handcrafted in our New York studio in the French tradition of découpage, the bent glass is individually signed by Ben. His signature glass découpage is food-safe, wipes clean, and finishes with a felted back. Stand it on a gallery easel or hang it with a plate hanger when it isn't gathering earrings and loose change. A folded card explaining the time-honored process accompanies each piece.
Set it on her vanity or your own, and let it say the thing that's often left unspoken.

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.
