The ginkgo biloba is one of nature's most ancient survivors, and its double leaf, shaped like a butterfly mid-flight, has fascinated Michael Aram for years. The Butterfly Ginkgo Gold Double Dish brings that fascination to the table in marble, natural brass, and white enamel, its paired vessels hand etched with the cocoon-shaped forms that give the collection its sense of transformation and wonder.

At 10 inches long, this double dish is as suited to an evening of entertaining as it is to a quiet morning at home. Olives, sea salt, olive oil and vinegar, jewelry, or simply the beauty of its own presence on a surface. The natural brass catches the light with a warmth that deepens over time, while the white enamel vessels and marble base ground the piece in the cool, clean geometry of the natural world.

As Michael Aram envisioned, this collection is "a fantasia image of the plant," executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of his work. The Butterfly Ginkgo Gold Double Dish is that poetry made functional, a piece that earns its place on any surface it inhabits.

A refined gift for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, or anyone who collects objects where beauty and craft are inseparable.
