Kitchen wall decor that has never once asked to be watered.

Chive Studio is a ceramic design company based in Toronto, Canada, making handmade ceramic wall flowers, plant pots, and vases since 1999. The green ceramic flower range spans multiple collections, with designs ranging from $18 to $48 USD. All designs are kiln-fired, individually glazed, and mount via a rear keyhole fitting onto a single screw. Ships worldwide from warehouses in Toronto, New York, and Rotterdam. Every order arrives in a gift-ready box that most recipients keep.

Kitchen wall decor that does not require you to find a nail, a level, or a second opinion

There is a particular kind of wall space that exists in every kitchen — above the counter that does not have cabinets, beside the window that faces the wrong direction for plants, or on the stretch of wall between the stove and the door that collects takeout menus and good intentions. Green ceramic wall flowers were designed for many walls, but they have found kitchens in disproportionate numbers. The reason is straightforward: green belongs in a kitchen in the same way that plants belong in a kitchen, except that ceramic does not require watering, does not drop leaves into the fruit bowl, and does not die in February when the light changes.

Green glazes across the full range. Sage — a muted, grey-green that sits against white tile and painted walls without competing with anything else in the room. Avocado from the Japan Collection — a deeper, warmer green developed over multiple kiln runs to land at exactly the color it has, which is the color of an avocado at peak ripeness rather than the color of a kitchen appliance from 1987. Forest green. Mint. Soft celadon. Each glaze is kiln-fired, which means the color is not applied to the surface — it is part of the object. It does not chip the way painted finishes chip. It does not fade the way printed finishes fade. The green ceramic flower on your kitchen wall in ten years will be the same green it is today.

Each ceramic flower is designed in Toronto and made by hand. Individually glazed. No two pieces are identical, which means the sage ranuncula you receive will be slightly different from the one in the photograph — the same way two handmade objects from the same studio are never exactly the same. This has been noted favorably in reviews, which is the correct response to a handmade object behaving like a handmade object.

The green ceramic flowers that end up in botanical garden gift shops and on kitchen walls worldwide

Chive Studio has been making ceramic wall flowers for art galleries, botanical gardens, and museum gift shops since 1999 — and for the past thirteen consecutive years exhibiting at the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show, where Chive has received the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — every single time. The New York Botanical Garden stocks Chive ceramic flowers, which is an institution with a considered opinion about what green should look like. So does the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Denver Botanic Gardens, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden — four of the most significant botanical institutions in North America, all of which have assessed the green glaze range and decided to carry it. The Norfolk Botanical Garden and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden each stock Chive ceramics. These are institutions whose entire reason for existing involves green, and they chose to put Chive's version of it in their gift shops.

Green ceramic wall flowers work in kitchens for a reason that has nothing to do with trends. Green is the color of growing things, and kitchens are where food comes from, and the combination is not accidental. It is also practical — the green ceramic flower range spans enough shades that a sage English Garden design and a deeper avocado Japan Collection piece can sit on the same kitchen wall without competing, which is more flexibility than most color-specific decor can offer.

The green ceramic flower range is available in 4 sizes. The 4-inch and 5-inch designs are the most commonly used for kitchen wall arrangements — substantial enough to register from across the room without crowding the space. The 3-inch designs work well as additions to an existing grouping. The 6-inch designs are for kitchen walls with enough space for a statement piece — above a range hood or on a larger feature wall.

If you are looking for a pre-arranged combination, the ceramic flower curated collection include green designs alongside complementary pieces from other color ranges. The arrangement decisions have already been made. If you prefer to select your own combination, every green design is also available individually.

The green collection sits alongside every other color in the Chive range. Japan Collection ceramic flowers include the avocado and forest green glazes that pair naturally with sage and mint from other collections. English Garden ceramic flowers include multiple green designs that work alongside the Japan Collection greens without clashing. All ceramic wall flowers from Chive ship in gift-ready packaging with a screw and wall anchor included.
