Centuries of French artistry, reimagined with modern flair. This bent-glass tray is handcrafted in our New York studio using the storied techniques of découpage, a decorative art beloved by French artisans since the 17th century. Each piece is a celebration of craftsmanship: hand-applied, richly layered and imbued with Ben’s signature eye for the charming and unexpected.
Every tray is individually signed by Ben himself, making each one an heirloom-worthy creation. Designed to delight and endure, it is food safe and easily wipes clean. The felted back adds a touch of elegance, while its versatile form is ready to display: hang it with a plate hanger, stand it on a gallery easel, or let it spark conversation at your next gathering.
Included with each piece is a folded card that shares the time-honored story of découpage, inviting the recipient into the tradition. In a world of mass production, this is a true artisan work of heart.

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.
I’ve been shopping early. A close friend lost her husband shortly after Christmas, 2025. This plate and a photo I’m having framed will be a reminder of the love and joy they shared. I’m saving it till January, 2027.
I ordered this tray for a close family friend that lost her Mom. It’s was shipped out timely and the gift wrapping and personal note was perfect . She loved it.
Perfect gift!!!
Never disappointed with Bens Garden!
