Treasures of the Tide Seashells Decoupage Glass Tray

Long before seashells became souvenirs, they were miniature wonders, gathered from distant shores and carefully illustrated for cabinets of curiosity. This vintage natural-history study brings together spirals, scallops, ridges, and improbable colors, each shell appearing like a tiny piece of architecture designed by the sea.

Handcrafted in our New York studio in the French tradition of découpage, the artwork is reverse-applied beneath bent glass, then carefully layered and burnished until every delicate marking glows through a perfectly smooth surface. Each tray is individually signed by Ben, a quiet mark of the hands and studio behind it.

Food-safe, wipe-clean, and softly felted on the reverse, it is beautiful serving drinks and oysters, gathering jewelry and correspondence, or displayed upright on a gallery easel or plate hanger. A folded card explaining the time-honored découpage process accompanies each piece.

For beachcombers, collectors, and anyone who understands that the sea rarely sends us home empty-handed.
