Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Vanity Tray

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection, including the vanity tray, 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 capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work.
