Grey Ceramic Flowers

Minimalist wall art in ceramic — why three dimensions beats flat when the palette is neutral

A white print on a white wall disappears. A white ceramic flower on a white wall does not — because the ceramic has depth, and that depth creates a shadow that changes across the day as the light shifts. The grey and white Chive ceramic flowers work as minimalist wall art because the form does the work the color cannot. This is the specific case for ceramic over print in a neutral room.

Grey ceramic flowers as gifts — the most versatile range for someone whose home you have not seen

Grey and white go with everything. If you do not know the person's walls, the grey range is the safe answer — not safe in a mediocre way, safe in a way that is backed up by the fact that SFMOMA and the Art Institute of Chicago carry it.

The grey and white range was developed for people who have already made the color decisions in their room and do not want a ceramic flower that reopens the discussion. Pale ivory, matte white, warm grey, cool grey, slate, charcoal — glazes that add three-dimensional form to a wall without introducing a color. SFMOMA stocks the grey and white range, which tells you something about how seriously the palette takes itself. A museum of modern art does not carry objects that cannot hold their own in a considered space.
