Butterfly Ginkgo Trivet
$120.00
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.
"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 trivets are lovely, elegant
"The trivets are lovely, elegant and expertly made. Thank you!"
It came broken so was
"It came broken so was not able to use it. I am not a fan of such a bright gold. Liked the old style better."
Our first disappointment with Michael
"Our first disappointment with Michael Aram. This trivet, which was ordered online, is lighter in weight than what it appears to be to the eye. Everyone who lifts the trivet is surprised by the lack of weight. A slight press of the hand in the center of the trivet causes a sag. Also, whoever antiqued this trivet used too much medium resulting in a darker appearance than our several other Michael Aram pieces. We're going to keep the trivet, but in an effort not to break the piece, hot heavier weight items will be placed elsewhere. We would never have purchased this flimsy piece from a brick and mortar storefront."

“There is a tremendous reflection of our own humanity in handmade objects When you make things by hand, somehow that energy, that tension, that passion, all gets absorbed into the object Objects are powerful They trace history, trace our passage through time, they capture memories for generations.” ~ M.
