FRANCE COLLECTION
Blush Pink Tundra Carnation
The Tundra carnation that is blush pink and is the France Collection's most ruffled quiet statement.
Description
French country decor includes the carnation in multiple forms — the south of France has been growing carnations commercially since the 18th century, particularly around Nice, and the carnation in its various cultivars represents the French cut flower tradition at its most industrial and its most decorative simultaneously. The Blush Pink Tundra Carnation is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the France Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a blush pink glaze, shaped in the Tundra cultivar — a carnation with a particularly dense, tightly ruffled form that holds the blush pink glaze in layers that reward close inspection.
The quiet ruffled precision of a collection French Vogue chose to feature
Chive interprets the French Vogue feature as an endorsement. The Tundra carnation is a different reading of the carnation form from the Solar carnation in the France Collection — where the Solar has an open, generous ruffle, the Tundra is tighter, denser, more precisely ruffled. In blush pink, the Tundra form reads as the France Collection's quiet precise version of the carnation — the form for the room that wants texture without drama. The San Diego Museum of Art carries it. French Vogue ran it. Both institutions appear to have found the quiet precision appropriate.
The San Diego Museum of Art carries the France Collection. The Nevada Museum of Art stocks it. The Utah Museum of Fine Arts carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Western US art museums have independently decided this collection belongs in their gift 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.
