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.

Todd Newgren founded Chive Studio in Toronto in 1999 and has been designing and handmaking ceramic flowers, plant pots, and vases every year since, which he considers a reasonable use of twenty-five years. Chive's ceramic flowers are stocked in the Getty Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, SFMOMA, and 200+ galleries and botanical institutions worldwide — a list Todd finds gratifying and occasionally surprising.

Once a year, Chive exhibits at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, which is the only time you can reliably find Todd in person, slightly damp, and unusually well-informed about the current state of the British tabloids. Chive has received the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for thirteen consecutive years. Todd believes this reflects the quality of the work. The rain was not a factor.
