Butterfly Ginkgo Gold Tidbit Plates, Set Of 4

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael & apos;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 & apos;s wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the crafting & nbsp;process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael & apos;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." - M   Made of porcelain Approx. 6"Dia.
