Butterfly Ginkgo Casserole Dish & Stand

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael Aram'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. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid bronze with acid 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."; Dish: Porcelain; Stand: Hand-textured stainless steel/natural and oxidized brass; Dishwasher safe dish; Oven safe; ImportedSIZING; Dish: 10.25"W x 14.5"L x 2.5"H; Overall: 20"L x 5"HPlease note: This item ships directly from the vendor and may take up to 10 business days to ship after the order is placed.
