What are ceramic wall flowers?

Ceramic wall flowers are handmade decorative flowers crafted from ceramic and mounted directly on your wall. Chive's ceramic flowers attach with a single screw, never wilt, and never need water - permanent, maintenance-free wall art that looks better than real flowers and outlasts every bouquet you've ever bought.

How do Chive ceramic flowers attach to a wall?

Each flower has a keyhole mount on the back that slides onto a single screw. Works on drywall, plaster, and wood. No special tools, no damage, no drama. One screw, one flower, done.

What is the Birth Flower Collection?

The Birth Flower Collection is a set of twelve ceramic wall flowers, one for each calendar month, representing the traditional birth flower for that month. Each flower is available in multiple glaze colours and comes with gift packaging. The collection is designed as a birthday, anniversary, or new baby gift. January is carnation, February is violet, March is daffodil, April is daisy, May is lily of the valley, June is rose, July is larkspur, August is poppy, September is aster, October is marigold, November is chrysanthemum, and December is narcissus.

What rooms work best for ceramic wall flowers?

Any room. Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, entryways, bathrooms. They're particularly popular as bedroom wall art and living room statement pieces. The short answer is: if it has a wall, it works.

What is the difference between the English Garden, France, Japan, and Coastal collections?

The English Garden Collection features roses, lotuses, and dahlias in pastel and earthy tones. The France Collection uses poppies and peonies in harvest and Mediterranean colours. The Japan Collection - sometimes called the Japandi Collection - uses muted, mineral glazes on asters, marigolds, and lisianthus. The Coastal Collection uses ivory, white, and sand tones on rose forms.

How long has Chive Studio been operating?

Chive Studio was founded in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1999 by Todd Newgren. The studio has operated continuously for 25 years, designing and ceramic wall flowers, plant pots, and vases. It is stocked in more than 200 art galleries, museum shops, and botanical garden retailers worldwide, including the Getty Museum, SFMOMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Royal Ontario Museum.

Does Chive ship internationally?

Chive ships to more than 40 countries worldwide from its Toronto studio. Separate regional stores serve Canada (chive.ca), the United Kingdom and parts of Asia (chiveuk.com), and Europe (chiveceramics.com). The US store at chive.com ships internationally where a dedicated regional store is not available. International shipping is available at checkout.

The Work Speaks. We Have Documentation.

Chive Studio has been handmaking ceramic wall flowers in Toronto since 1999. The Getty Museum stocks them. So does SFMOMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Royal Ontario Museum, and more than 200 galleries and institutions worldwide. This did not happen through press releases. It happened because the work is good and buyers with excellent taste noticed.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 Recap | Chive Studio

Chive attended the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 for our fourteenth year, won the 4 -Star Tradestand Award, debuted the France and Japan ceramic flower collections, brought back the gnomes, and may have accidentally left some of them in the Royal Hospital Chelsea gardens. Find out what happened!

Tagged: Chelsea Flower Show

For over a century, the Royal Horticultural Society banned garden gnomes from the Chelsea Flower Show. Chive campaigned to have them reinstated. It worked — and then we had to do it again. Come find us at Chelsea 2026, May 19–23, for our fourteenth consecutive year: gnomes, the Pooley, ceramic flowers, and the stand people keep coming back to!

We had an astronaut on the wall before it was a cultural moment.

The Chive Studio astronaut vase has been on the wall since before the aesthetic had a name. Three versions exist: Yuri, Laika, and Félicette — named after the first dog and first cat ever sent to space. This is the story of a solar eclipse in New York, a Toronto space bar that ordered a hundred vases a month until it closed, and why we are not adding a fourth vase just because NASA had a good week.

Always original, often copied. The story behind the tagline

The tagline came from observation, not marketing. Chive has been making handmade ceramic wall flowers in Toronto since 1999. In the early years, designs we created began appearing on products from other companies. We did not respond with outrage, which would have been exhausting. We responded by making better things. This is the story behind twenty-five years of always original, often copied.

25 years of making handmade ceramic flowers by hand. What handmade actually means.

Handmade is one of those words that has been used so many times it has lost most of its meaning. Chive Studio has been making ceramic flowers in Toronto without molds since 1999. Here is what that actually means, why it produces a different result, and why the people who run museum gift shops noticed before almost anyone else did.

How Chive got into the Getty Museum

The short version is that we made something good and kept making it better for twenty-five years. The longer version involves a trade show, a museum gift shop buyer with excellent taste, and a ceramic wall flower that looked exactly the same a decade later as it did on day one. This is how Chive ended up in the Getty Museum.
