I never thought I'd be the kind of person to get excited about fake flowers, but here I am, gushing over a piece of faux sea coral like it's the Second Coming. It all started when my sister, ever the arbiter of good taste, insisted I needed to "elevate" my bathroom wall hangings. Apparently, my collection of half-empty shampoo bottles and lone rubber duck weren't cutting it. So there I was, clicking around the local gift shop, surrounded by ceramic wall flowers masquerading as flora, when I saw it: a small, blue piece of coral that looked like it had been plucked straight from the ocean floor. It was so lifelike, I half expected a tiny crab to scuttle out and pinch me for staring. "It's abstract artwork," the saleswoman cooed, as if that justified the price tag. "It's Perfect modern wall art for the bathroom." I wanted to scoff, to maintain my cynical facade, but something about this little azure imposter spoke to me. Maybe it was the way it seemed to undulate, frozen in a perpetual ocean dance. Or perhaps it was the promise of bringing a touch of the sea to my landlocked, second-floor apartment. Before I knew it, I was hanging this abstract artwork above my toilet, feeling like I'd finally joined the ranks of sophisticated adults who have more than just toothpaste stains adorning their bathroom walls.

Wall hanging
Works on drywall, plaster, or wood panelling. Drive a small screw at a slight upward angle, leaving the head proud of the wall. Slide the keyhole slot on the back over the screw head, adjust to level. Sits flush — no visible hardware.
No stud? No problem. A drywall anchor rated for the weight works fine.
Displaying a collection
Lay everything out on the floor first. Start with your anchor piece, build outward. Keep 2–3 inches between each piece and aim for the centre of the whole arrangement to land around eye level. Use painter's tape on the wall to map positions before committing to any screws.
Table & shelf display: Equally beautiful propped on a shelf, mantle, or side table. Pair with books, candles, or a small pot.
- Dust with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush. Do not use wet cloths or liquid cleaners.

Retired, Not Regretted
Every design starts as an idea we believe in completely, until eventually some don't sell the way we hoped, or a shape we loved five years ago quietly stops matching what our shelves need now. Ceramic flowers get phased out for reasons that have nothing to do with quality and everything to do with the ordinary math of running a studio: limited shelf space, a glaze that's harder to source, a collection that's simply run its course.
Retirement doesn't happen because the flower stopped working. Whatever ends up here still holds its shape, still keeps its color, still does the one thing a ceramic flower is supposed to do indefinitely. It's out of regular production because the studio's attention has moved on, not because the piece asked to be dismissed.
This is where those pieces land. Our loss is your gain, and also a limited one — once what's here sells through, it's gone, since we no longer make more of it.
Ceramic flowers that outlasted their own collection. Available while supplies last, permanently.

How to hang ceramic wall flowers?
One screw. One keyhole on the back. Ninety seconds and it's on the wall. The video shows exactly how it happens — no special hardware, no second holes, no contractor on speed dial. Whether you're hanging one piece or planning a full gallery wall, the hanging guide walks you through both.
An Arrangement That Never Wilts
Chive got into ceramic flowers for the same reason most people eventually give up on real ones: something in a vase kept dying, and nobody on staff could keep it alive long enough to matter. The fix was to stop working with anything that had a shelf life, and start hand-shaping petals out of clay instead, one at a time, with no molds involved and no shortcuts taken on the parts nobody else would notice.
That decision turned into an actual discipline. Every petal gets shaped by hand, every glaze gets tested until the color reads as botanical instead of ceramic, and the finished piece holds its color under whatever light it ends up living under, including the unforgiving track lighting found in museum galleries.
Those galleries have had opinions. Chive's ceramic flowers have shown up at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for 14 consecutive years, plus the New York Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Getty Museum, SFMOMA, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. More than 200 institutions across 40-plus countries have picked a Chive piece for their walls, which is a strange amount of validation for something that started as a solution to bad plant care.
