There are moments that mark us forever. This tray captures one of them. I Will Never Forget The Moment I Realized I Loved You is a quiet declaration, handwritten and unguarded, suspended beneath glass like a memory you refuse to let fade. It is intimate, disarming, and unmistakably human, the kind of piece that stops you mid-stride and asks you to remember your own turning points.
Handcrafted in our New York City studio using the traditional French art of decoupage, this bent-glass tray is made one at a time, layering printed imagery beneath crystal-clear glass and firing it into permanence. Each piece is individually signed by Ben, a personal stamp that underscores its singular nature and its place within the Ben’s Garden world of charming, unusual objects made with intention.
Both beautiful and functional, the tray is food safe, wipe clean, and finished with a felted back. It can be styled flat on a table, propped on a gallery easel, or hung with a plate hanger as a small, meaningful work of art. A folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process accompanies each piece.

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.
I’m in a relationship with someone who has turned my world around. I wanted him to know I will never forget the moment I knew there was no one else.
