Ben's Garden
Important Stamp Decoupage Glass Tray
Before inboxes buzzed and urgency was automated, importance was declared in ink. This tray borrows its authority from another century, when words arrived with weight and a single stamp could command attention. The bold proclamation sits centered on a warm, timeworn ground, framed by ornate Victorian flourishes that once elevated everyday correspondence into something ceremonial. It feels archival, deliberate, and quietly commanding, a reminder that some things are still worth slowing down for.
Handcrafted in our New York studio using the French tradition of découpage, this bent-glass tray reflects Ben’s enduring fascination with historical typography and symbolic language. The vintage typeset is layered beneath glass through a meticulous, time-honored process that gives the surface depth and permanence. Each piece is individually signed by Ben, felted on the back, and accompanied by a folded card that shares the story of the craft behind it.
Both practical and poetic, the tray is food-safe, wipe clean, and versatile enough to live many lives. Use it to hold letters, keys, sweets, or the small essentials you refuse to overlook. Display it flat, hang it with a plate hanger, or let it stand proudly on a gallery easel. A simple object with presence and purpose, designed to remind you that what matters deserves to be seen.
