Dear Mom, I love you — said not in a fleeting text but in vintage typeset, set against a natural cream ground and made to last. This tray turns a simple sentiment into something she can see and touch each day, a quiet daily reminder of how much she means.
Handcrafted in our New York studio in the French tradition of découpage, the bent glass is individually signed by Ben. His signature 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 holding her rings, her reading glasses, or the morning's tea. A folded card explaining the time-honored process accompanies each piece.
Give it to Mom for the occasion that calls for more than flowers, or to any woman who has quietly held everything together with style and grace.

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.
My mom burst into tears when she opened it. We both were in awe of the beautiful wrapping and the tray itself is so meaningful and lovely. Thank you so much!
