A daily wish worth keeping close. The May You Be Happy Always Dome Paperweight pairs the timeless brilliance and satisfying heft of fine French crystal with Honoré de Balzac’s simple yet profound blessing — a reflection of Ben’s signature knack for turning small objects into meaningful keepsakes.
Handcrafted in our New York studio, the clear dome gently magnifies the elegant type, turning an ordinary desk into a quiet moment of gratitude. The back is felted for an extra touch of luxury and to protect delicate surfaces.
Perfectly sized at 3.5 inches, this sparkling paperweight keeps notes in place while lifting spirits with every glance. Each piece arrives with a folded card explaining the storied découpage process behind it — a thoughtful gesture that makes it as giftable as it is collectible.
A timeless token of well wishes, for someone you love, or for yourself.

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.
