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 - 9.5" L x 9.5" W x 3" H
    • Product weight - 3 lbs
    • A unique and artistic presentation of Flora as Fauna
    • The butterfly is a symbol of metamorphosis and transformation
    • The etched texture stainless steel represents the woven silk of the cocoon but also prevents scratches and signs of wear
    • 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
    • Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring pads that can scratch and dull metal surfaces
    • Each metal object undergoes a series of grinding, buffing and polishing techniques
    • Variations or 'imperfections' in the product's finish are characteristic of the creation process
    • Hand Textured Stainless Steel, Natural and Oxidized Brass
    • Wipe with Soft Cloth, Do Not Clean with Any Chemical Solvents
    • Imported

Beautiful Addition to the Table

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have the Butterfly Gingko napkin holders, so we purchased the bread basket to match. It is beautiful. My only complaint is that it is a little shallow for bread/rolls. Otherwise, lovely.
