Butterfly Ginkgo Utensil Holder

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. - Product dimension - 9" L x 7" W x 8" H - Weight - 2.29 lbs - 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 - Executed at the highest level of hand craftsmanship, 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 - From the butterfly Ginkgo collection - Inspired by the designer's fascination with the Ginkgo tree, this hand-crafted utensil holder evokes the image of tree leaves disguised as butterflies - 1 year manufacturer's limited warranty - Hand Textured Stainless Steel, Natural Oxidized Brass - Not Dishwasher Safe, Hand Wash with Gentle Detergent, Dry Immediately with Soft Cloth, do not Use Abrasive Cleaners, Steel Wool or Scouring Pads that can Scratch and Dull Metal Surfaces, Avoid any Detergent with Lemon or Other Acidic Agents - Imported
