JAPAN COLLECTION
Avocado Green Petunia
The petunia that is avocado green and has been the Japan Collection's most reliably present green since 2020.
Description
Japandi wall art in the Japan Collection's avocado green is the deep, earthy warm green that reads as the most grounded position in the collection's botanical palette — not the cool pea green of the Ghost succulent, not the warm bamboo-yellow of the peridot, but the deep, warm, slightly brown-adjacent green that reads as earth and root and the specific color of mature avocado skin. The Avocado Green Petunia is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Japan Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in an avocado green glaze, shaped in the petunia form — the simple, trumpet-shaped bloom that has been grown in Japanese window boxes and container gardens since the Meiji era introduction of Western garden flowers.
The deep warm green of a collection built on botanical specificity
Chive designed the Japan Collection in 2020 with three distinct greens — pea green (cool, fresh), peridot (warm, bamboo-yellow), and avocado green (deep, earthy, warm) — each occupying a distinct position in the botanical green palette. Avocado green is the deepest and most grounded of the three: the green that reads as shade and earth and mature botanical material rather than new growth. The petunia form holds the avocado green glaze in its simple trumpet structure with the kind of unfussy presence that the deep color benefits from — a more complex form would compete with the color, while the clean petunia trumpet lets the avocado green read without interference. Denver Botanic Gardens carries the Japan Collection.

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.
