Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Salad Plate

The hand-painted 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 hand-craftsmanship, 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.
