COASTAL COLLECTION
White Snowdrop — Ceramic Wall Art | Chive
The snowdrop that is white and is the Coastal Collection's most seasonal and most specific piece.
Description
Coastal wall art at its most seasonal is the ivory snowdrop — the Galanthus, the small white flower that appears before anything else in the garden and that has been the symbol of winter's end for as long as people have been noting when winter ends. The White Snowdrop is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Coastal Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a white glaze, shaped in the snowdrop form — the nodding, three-petaled bell that hangs forward from the wall, the most delicate and most specifically seasonal botanical form in the Coastal Collection's range.
The first flower of the year in a collection built on white
Chive designed the Coastal Collection between 2017 and 2020 for white-wall interiors that commit to ivory and white as deliberate aesthetic positions. The snowdrop in white is the Coastal Collection at its most seasonally specific: the flower that is already white in nature, placed in the collection that is built on white, the form that reads as belonging to the Coastal Collection more completely than any other piece because the living snowdrop could not be any other color. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries the Coastal Collection.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries the Coastal Collection. The New York Botanical Garden stocks it. Longwood Gardens carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Botanical gardens from New York through Pennsylvania have consistently chosen this piece for their shops. 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.
