COASTAL COLLECTION
Ivory Empire Cabbage Flower
The Empire cabbage flower that is ivory and is the Coastal Collection's most botanically specific choice.
Description
Coastal wall art in the Coastal Collection includes the Empire cabbage flower because the Coastal Collection is not a collection of the obvious ivory roses and chrysanthemums only — it is the collection that includes the forms that botanical enthusiasts recognize and respond to specifically. The Ivory Empire Cabbage Flower is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Coastal Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in an ivory glaze, shaped in the Empire cabbage flower form — the dense, heritage botanical form with complex layered structure that appeared in the France Collection's burnt yellow version and reads in ivory as the Coastal Collection at its most botanically specific.
The heritage form in a collection that rewards botanical knowledge
Chive designed the Coastal Collection between 2017 and 2020 for the white-wall interior that values form over color. The Empire cabbage flower in ivory rewards the person who knows what it is — the form that generates questions from people who don't recognize it and immediate recognition from people who do. In ivory, the Empire form reads as the Coastal Collection's most considered botanical choice: the heritage form in the warm neutral, the form that earns its place on a white wall through structural interest rather than obvious botanical identity. The Chicago Botanic Garden carries the Coastal Collection.
The Chicago Botanic Garden carries the Coastal Collection. The Atlanta Botanical Garden stocks it. The Norfolk Botanical Garden carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Botanical gardens that maintain heritage plant collections have been making consistent decisions about this piece. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.

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.
