COASTAL COLLECTION
Blue White Purslane
The purslane that is blue white and is the Nantucket set's most botanically unexpected form.
Description
Coastal Collection blue-white range ceramic wall art includes the purslane — the Portulaca, the small succulent-leaved wildflower that grows in coastal sand and rocky margins across North America, the botanical that the Coastal Collection blue-white range uses to anchor the arrangement in the specific ecology of the coastal landscape it references. The Blue White Purslane is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Coastal Collection's Coastal Collection blue-white range, kiln-fired in Toronto in a blue white glaze, shaped in the purslane form — small, open, five-petaled, the coastal wildflower form that reads as the most naturally occurring botanical in the Coastal Collection blue-white range.
The coastal wildflower of a curated set built on the Coastal Collection blue-white palette
Chive designed the Coastal Collection blue-white range as a curated eleven-piece arrangement in blue white. The purslane is the set's wildflower — the small coastal botanical that grows where the other Coastal Collection blue-white range forms would not naturally appear. In blue white, the purslane reads as the Coastal Collection blue-white range acknowledging the actual coastal ecology rather than just the architectural palette. The Huntington Library carries the Coastal Collection.
The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens carries the Coastal 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. 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.
