CLASSIC COLLECTION
Ceramic Flower Mum Teal 11
The teal mum that is 11 inches and has been the Classic Collection's most specifically colored chrysanthemum since Briana made the teal work.
Description
Classic Collection ceramic wall flowers include the teal mum because teal is the color that exists between blue and green at the exact point where neither wins, and Briana made it work on the 11-inch chrysanthemum form in a way that makes the teal read as the color the mum was supposed to be rather than the color it accidentally ended up in. The Teal Mum is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Classic Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a teal glaze, shaped in the chrysanthemum form — the fully rounded, many-petaled form that holds teal across its layered structure with the complexity that a simpler form would not provide.
The glaze that earns its form in a collection built on earning
Teal as a glaze color requires precision — the blue-green balance that reads as deliberately teal rather than accidentally one or the other. Briana's glaze work in the Classic Collection has been producing teal in small runs since the collection's early years, and the 11-inch chrysanthemum form is where the teal reads best: the many-petaled structure creates variation between the teal on the petal faces and the teal in the petal recesses that makes the color feel deeper than it would on a flat surface. The Atlanta Botanical Garden carries the Classic Collection. Their chrysanthemum collections provide the botanical context that makes the teal ceramic version read as a considered interpretation rather than an arbitrary color choice.

How to Hang Ceramic Flowers?
One discovers these flowers, each bearing a secret: a tiny keyhole nestled in the back, waiting for its destiny. The ritual feels almost predetermined - reaching into that dusty jar of orphaned screws, the ones squirreled away over countless home projects. Those odd bits of metal, collected like precious coins, finally finding their purpose. A quick twist of the drill, and there hangs beauty, supported by hardware whose previous life remains a mystery.
