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 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. 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.

The item is marked delivered. My home camera shows it’s not. I called and spoke to 6 representatives over 4 days. Came into the store. Macys said it’s their FINAL DECISION, to ANOTHER replace the item or refund my money. This is fraudulent. I must proceed legally. MICHAEL ARAM?? do you not have any quality control either?
Absolutely gorgeous
it was delevered without the spoons and no one sent me the spoons and they don’t let me return the package
Ordered this for a party I’m having on Saturday. One of the bowls was chipped and the stand itself was broken. Went to the store to exchange it. Not only did they not have any in stock, but she offered me the display which I agreed to, only to find that one of the legs wobbles bc it’s uneven. She said this isn’t the first time! I love these Michael Aram pieces but for the amount I’m paying I expect better quality. I will now have to wait until March to get a new one.
