The Winter Leaves collection is inspired by nature's transformation from fall to snow-laden winter landscapes. Artfully rendered in this collection with white, slender lines and sculpted edges, these pieces represent the elemental constants of our surroundings, in the finest handcrafted details. "For me, leaves are a metaphor for life itself. They tell the story of nature as a whole, and of the circle of life. The structure of the leaves, at once both delicate and strong, fascinates me. I wanted to celebrate each leaf as a reminder of the preciousness of life and our place in the universe".

Love this decorative dish as a neutral autumnal piece for my home! I bought 2 other different shaped leaves to make a grouping. The colors of white and gold match my rooms perfectly and the attention to design and quality are excellent. I recommend all of the leaf dishes by this designer!. Sharon.

The New Leaves collection is a celebration of the beauty and meaning found in individual leaves. Inspired by specific types of foliage that have taken on sentimental meaning in Michael's life, this collection embodies his genuine passion for nature in its purest and most personal form. Each leaf has its own story, its symbolism, and its inherent wonder, detail, and shape. For the first time, Michael is also interpreting an entire collection of leaves in the proportions in which they occur in nature, amplifying the sense of realism for which he is so well known. While each leaf is expressed as a sculptural object, Michael has yet again managed to infuse function into his forms, making them perfect for the most elemental moments in our daily lives. "There are Champa or Frangipani trees in my garden and at my workshop in India. They are all over India. They are generally planted near Buddhist and Hindu Temples since they are considered spirit trees, highly symbolic of love and recreation. While the flowers are recognized for their beauty, gentle color transitions, and fragrance, it is the stiff, glossy leaf that intrigues me most. There is such strength in their regimented and perfected shapes."

The Olive Branch collection is one of the best-known and most loved of Michael's motifs. The simple forms create objects that serve wonderfully as stunning individual gifts or an exuberant table setting that decorates an entire moment of your life. The theme itself captures all the most distinctive aspects of Michael's work - narrative strength, deep symbolism, and extraordinary sculptural expression. "The olive branch has always held a powerful meaning for me representing both peace and victory. In designing functional objects with natural forms, there is a mingled sense of fragility and intensity. For me, it is like nature spreading through my interior spaces - like a magical olive grove sweetly willing its way into my home."

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 we 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."

Love this white and gold decorative dish! Nice quality and great attention to a beautiful design! I was so happy to find these leaves ( I bought a couple different shapes ) as it’s sometimes difficult to find autumnal decorations in neutral colors as opposed to the usual orange, brown, yellow offered decor colors. I highly recommend!. Sharon. Boca Raton, Florida. 2025-04-05 07:49:36

The Vine collection takes its inspiration from the imagery that floats around classic storytelling. The shapes are obvious and immediate and, at the same time, impressionistic and lyrical - the way a small child might imagine the scenes in a story he's being told. "These vines conjure up images of the overgrown entrance to an enchanted forest. The window to a world of fantasy flora and unexpected beauty."
