Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo 4 Piece Gold-Tone Tidbit Plate Set

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. Tidbit plate dimension - 0.5" H and 6" diameter Set includes - 4 tidbit plates Our porcelain butterfly ginkgo gold-tone tidbit plate set features the design of this beautiful, golden-tone double leafed plant Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with etched cocoon-shaped vessels The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work 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 One year limited warranty from defect Porcelain Machine Washable Imported
