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. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
Note the size before buying
Beautiful but much, much larger than they appear online and very heavy. The bulk loses the elegance.
