John Derian Dark Veinlet Butterfly Mini Decoupage Tray

Decorative gifts for the home, inspired by The Met collection.

This elegant butterfly pays tribute to The Dark Veinlet (1862), a color lithograph published by Louis Prang & Co. in Boston. It belongs to The Butterflies and Moths of America Part 3 series, and now resides in The Met’s famed Burdick Collection of American ephemera.

This artful item was crafted exclusively for The Met by New York City–based designer John Derian, who’s celebrated for his unique decoupage decorations on hand-blown glass plates, trays, bowls, and more.
