Every great chapter opens quietly, with a single line: this is the start of something beautiful. The tray holds that promise in Ben's charming, slightly unexpected style, a small toast to beginnings of every kind.
Handcrafted in our New York studio in the French tradition of decoupage, the illustration is sealed beneath curved bent glass and individually signed by Ben. It is food safe and wipes clean, the reverse softly felted, and it hangs with a plate hanger, stands on a gallery easel, or rests on a nightstand to gather rings and small daily treasures. A folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process accompanies each piece.
Give it for an engagement, a new home, a fresh start — to anyone standing at the edge of something they can already tell will be good.

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.
