Hive & Hearth Golden Apiary Decoupage Tray

A hive becomes a household here, two busy bees perched like homeowners, classifieds pinned to a straw skep: Honey for Sale. Beeswax Wanted. 50,000 Rooms to Rent. It’s a wink and a love letter to the magic of bees: tireless architects, sweet alchemists, and keepers of order who turn sunlight and flowers into something golden for the table. Set this on a counter or bar cart, and you can almost hear the hum of a tiny neighborhood.

In the French tradition of decoupage, this bent-glass tray is handcrafted in our New York studio. The artwork is applied in reverse beneath crystal-clear glass, sealed with fine varnishes, and burnished until the hive seems to glow from within. Each piece is individually signed by Ben. Both practical and charming, Ben’s signature glass decoupage is food-safe and wipes clean; the back side is felted to rest softly on marble or wood. It’s also suitable for hanging with a plate hanger or standing on a gallery easel, and every tray arrives with a folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process.

Style it with honey jars and cheeses, park it by the sink to corral rings, or let it anchor a coffee table vignette, wherever it lands, this tray brings a little apiary warmth home.
