Swaying Ginkgo Vessel

A wavy figure of delicately carved beauty, the simplicity of spring greens and gold leaf on a jet black background. 11 inches high and 7 inches wide and deep, she has a presence and will be noticed, especially with a good light but is not overpowering of any room.

She is first painted with fire. Pyro engraving is the lengthiest process on a ginkgo vessel. Spaces strategically then cautiously cut away to show off the graceful curves and contours of the stems, branches and leaves of this living fossil we know as Ginkgo Biloba. One of the most ancient of our currently populated plants, symbolic of longevity, perseverance and prosperity.

A black carbon paint medium is used to “disappear” the interior of the vessel. As with any fine art, keep out of direct sunlight to avoid fading these glorious greens, gold leaf and jet blacks.
