A little woodland wisdom, caught beneath glass. This sweet owl sits calmly on her branch, watchful and luminous, with amber eyes, feathered markings, and soft green leaves that feel lifted from the margin of an old naturalist's field book. She brings the room a quiet kind of charm: curious, knowing, slightly enchanted, and just unusual enough to make people lean in.
Handcrafted in the French tradition of decoupage, each bent-glass tray is made in our New York studio and individually signed by Ben. The artwork is applied in reverse beneath the glass, preserving every delicate line while creating Ben's signature sense of depth and light. The back is felted, the surface is food safe and wipe-clean, and the piece arrives with a folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process.
Beautiful on a bedside table, desk, or entryway console, it holds jewelry, keys, sweets, or nothing at all.

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.
