Mae West didn’t just live, she performed life—and left us with a line that makes champagne taste better: You only live once, but when you do it right, once is enough.
This bent-glass tray, handcrafted in our New York studio in the French decoupage tradition, is equal parts wit and glamour. With its creamy backdrop and vintage typeset, it’s signed by Ben and ready to be the life of the party—even when the party’s just you, a cocktail, and your best intentions gone awry.
Food safe and felt-backed, it’s as functional as it is flirtatious. Use it to serve martinis, corral lipstick and pearls, or hang it on the wall as a daily reminder that restraint is highly overrated.
After all, Mae never played small. Why should you?

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.
