Snow hushes the world, a toy sled flies past holly, a brass horn toots, and “Merry Christmas” unfurls in candy-cane script. This jubilant scene feels like the moment just before the tree is lit—cheeks rosy, wrapping paper rustling, kids underfoot and cocoa on the boil. It’s pure Christmas nostalgia, preserved under glass for your holiday table.
Handmade in our New York studio in the French tradition of decoupage, the artwork is reverse-applied to bent glass, then carefully layered and burnished so the colors glow with depth while the surface stays silk-smooth. Each tray is individually signed by Ben.
Thoughtful to use and beautiful to display: food-safe and wipe-clean with a felted back to protect your furniture. Perfect for cookies, cocktails, and candy canes when friends gather; equally lovely on a gallery easel or hung with a plate hanger.
A folded card detailing the time-honored decoupage process accompanies every piece. An instant heirloom to pull out each December—the tray that makes the room feel like Christmas morning again.

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.
