Love, set in a small, quiet typeface — the kind of understatement that says the most. This decoupage glass tray carries the word with Ben's eye for the charming and unusual, the illustration sealed beneath bent glass in the centuries-old French tradition of découpage and handcrafted in our New York studio.
Both practical and poetic, its surface is food-safe and wipes clean, the reverse softly felted and individually signed by Ben. Prop it on a gallery easel, hang it with a plate hanger, or let it corral keys and rings by the door. A folded card explaining the time-honored découpage process accompanies each piece.
Give it to someone who wears their love plainly, in lowercase and in full.

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.
