My Dear Cursive Decoupage Glass Tray

A love letter you can set your keys on. “My dear” is lifted from an antique hand- ink looping with the elegance of old-world correspondence, then preserved forever beneath crystal glass. In our New York studio, the artwork is applied in the French tradition of découpage: laid in reverse under bent glass, sealed with fine varnishes, and burnished until the script seems to float like wet ink. The result is both sentimental and striking—an homage to the disappearing art of cursive and the way a few handwritten words can still quicken the heart. Practical as it is poetic, this tray makes a perfect desk or bedside catch-all, just the right size for pencils and pens, a phone, readers, or a daily stack of notes. Ben’s signature felted back lands softly on marble and wood; the smooth glass surface is food-safe and wipes clean in a heartbeat. Display it flat, stand it on a gallery easel, or hang it with a plate hanger to let the message greet you from the wall. Each piece is individually signed by Ben and arrives with a folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process. For the letter-writer, the romantic, the keeper of small treasures, two words that say everything, rendered with the permanence they deserve. Style #: DPI-3665
