Description

Classic Collection ceramic wall flowers include the green peony at 12-inch scale because the Classic Collection is where the large forms and the interesting glazes find each other without being required to explain themselves to a themed palette. The Green Peony is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Classic Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a green glaze, shaped in the large fully double peony form — the same abundance that the Japan Collection's navy peony has at maximum blue, here in the green that reads as the Classic Collection deciding that peonies belong in green the same way they belong anywhere else.

The green that earns the largest peony form in the Classic Collection

The Classic Collection operates on the principle that a glaze either earns its form or it doesn't. Green on the 12-inch peony form earns it — the large fully double petal structure holds the green glaze in its layers with the variation between shadow and light that the color requires to read as specific rather than generic. Briana's glaze work in the Classic Collection has been producing greens since the collection launched in 1999. The 12-inch green peony is what happens when the glaze has developed the depth that the form requires. The Huntington Library carries the Classic Collection — an institution with substantial peony gardens that has evaluated the ceramic version and found it worth stocking.

The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens carries the Classic Collection. The Denver Botanic Gardens stocks it. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Botanical institutions with actual peony collections have independently evaluated and chosen this piece.

A gift for the person who wants the largest ceramic peony in a color peonies don't typically inhabit

The Green Peony ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Huntington Library carries it. The person who wants the Classic Collection's most abundantly scaled botanical in green receives the 12-inch version from the same collection a botanical institution with peony gardens chose.

How to Hang Ceramic Flowers?

In 60 seconds or less

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is a green peony botanically unusual?

Green peonies exist — the 'Green Lotus' and 'Green Halo' peony cultivars are real, though uncommon. The Classic Collection's green peony is the ceramic version of the color that peony breeders reach for when they want to create something unexpected within the form. The Huntington Library carries the Classic Collection. Their peony gardens include cultivars across the full color range.

How big is the 12-inch green peony?

The Green Peony is a 12-inch ceramic wall flower — the large format that reads as the botanical anchor of a wall arrangement. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Huntington Library carries it. At 12 inches the fully double peony form has enough surface area for the green glaze to develop the layer variation that makes it read as specific rather than flat.

Does the Classic Collection green peony differ from the Japan Collection's peridot and avocado green peonies?

The Classic Collection green peony is the original — designed from 1999 onward in the Classic palette, which predates the Japan Collection's specifically designed peridot and avocado greens by over a decade. The Classic green is Briana's glaze work applied to the peony form. The Japan Collection greens are designed against the Japanese aesthetic palette. Both are green peonies. The Classic one came first.

Can the green peony work in a room that also has other Chive green pieces?

The Classic Collection green peony alongside Japan Collection's chocolate mint or avocado green creates the cross-collection green study — greens from different production traditions, different glazing approaches, different scales. On a wall together they read as the full Chive green range across a decade of different glaze decisions. The Huntington Library carries the Classic Collection.

Is a large green peony appropriate for a contemporary interior?

The 12-inch green peony works in contemporary interiors because the large botanical form in an unexpected color reads as a design decision rather than a decoration. In a room with clean lines and neutral walls, the Green Peony reads as the specific choice that makes the room feel inhabited. The Huntington Library carries the Classic Collection.

Is the Classic Collection green different from the English Garden or Coastal Collection greens?

The Classic Collection's green peony predates the English Garden Collection's greens and predates the systematized palette work of later collections. The Classic green is the original Chive green — the one Briana made before the collections were named. The Huntington Library carries both the Classic Collection and the Coastal Collection.

Is this a good gift for someone who loves peonies?

The Green Peony is a specific gift for a peony enthusiast because green is the color that peony collectors seek out in the most unusual cultivars — the version of the peony that botanical specialists find interesting. The Huntington Library carries the Classic Collection. Their peony collection includes the full range of cultivar colors that make the green peony reference meaningful.

Has the Green Peony been told that the Huntington Library's botanical gardens grow actual peonies?

The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens maintains a peony collection that includes cultivars across the full color range. They carry the Classic Collection's green ceramic peony in their gift shop. Whether the ceramic object has been informed of the proximity of its living counterparts is not documented. It hangs on walls. The Huntington has evaluated both. They carry the ceramic.
