Michael Aram Butterfly Ginkgo Porcelain Mug

The Butterfly Ginkgo Porcelain Mug is the daily object from one of Michael Aram's most celebrated collections — the ginkgo leaf and butterfly motif rendered in fine porcelain at a scale made for the morning ritual. At 5"L × 3.25"W × 4"H with a 10 oz capacity, it's sized for a standard coffee or tea serving. Stain resistant, dishwasher safe, microwave safe. The design takes the Butterfly Ginkgo's organic motif — branches, leaves, butterflies — and translates it into the quieter language of fine porcelain, which reads differently from the metalwork pieces but unmistakably belongs to the same collection.

Michael Aram's fine porcelain was designed around the same principle as his metalwork: that the objects we use daily should be as beautiful as the most prized ones. The casualisation of formal, and the formalisation of casual. The Butterfly Ginkgo Mug sits on a desk or kitchen counter as naturally as it does on a formally laid table, and it pairs directly with the Butterfly Ginkgo demitasse set and the metalwork pieces of the collection.
