Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Pastry Dish with Dome

Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Pastry Dish with Dome The butterfly ginkgo collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the ginkgo biloba, or Butterfly ginkgo, which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant.  Product Features  Product dimension - 9 L x 9 W x 10 H  Weight - 3.96 lbs  The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies, as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise  The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye  Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid bronze with acid etched cocoon-shaped vessels  MSRP $315  BRAND NEW IN BOX   B2220
