Build Your Floral Wall With These:

Designed to cluster naturally, like a wild garden. Choose a flower as your design anchor, then grow your custom floral wall with these companions:


The cornflower appeared in the funeral wreath of Tutankhamun and has been building a resume ever since. The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower is a ceramic wall flower, 5 inches across, one screw, no water. Electric blue is not what the cornflower comes in naturally but is considerably more decided. The Lexi cultivar has the most fully developed petal structure in the cornflower family — a disc center surrounded by rays that have made an unambiguous commitment to the form. The cornflower stopped consulting the meadow at some point between the pharaoh and the Japan Collection.

How to hang & display

Wall hanging

Works on drywall, plaster, or wood panelling. Drive a small screw at a slight upward angle, leaving the head proud of the wall. Slide the keyhole slot on the back over the screw head, adjust to level. Sits flush — no visible hardware.

No stud? No problem. A drywall anchor rated for the weight works fine.

Displaying a collection

Lay everything out on the floor first. Start with your anchor piece, build outward. Keep 2–3 inches between each piece and aim for the centre of the whole arrangement to land around eye level. Use painter's tape on the wall to map positions before committing to any screws.

Table & shelf display: Equally beautiful propped on a shelf, mantle, or side table. Pair with books, candles, or a small pot.

The Story Behind This Piece

Cornflowers grow a genuinely saturated blue in the wild, but reaching that exact color in a fired glaze is harder than it looks, since most blue glazes shift toward grey or violet at high kiln temperatures. We went through several failed batches chasing a blue that stayed electric rather than muting itself down in the firing process, testing cobalt ratios in small increments until one batch came out of the kiln at close to the intensity we were after. That batch became the reference standard for every one after it, which is why the name carries a specific internal test-batch reference rather than a more poetic title. The saturation held up consistently once we locked the ratio, which was the real achievement, since a blue this bright is exactly the kind of color that tends to vary piece to piece in a hand-glazed process. This one, unusually, does not.

Part of the Japan Collection

The Japan collection learned its patience from rooms built around one object instead of a crowded shelf — an off-center bloom, an asymmetrical bract, a glaze left looking unfinished. Every piece trades abundance for one flower a room needs. The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower pushes the cornflower's usual blue into a saturation the studio rarely attempts twice. A brighter blue picks up the cooler end of the spectrum.

Two Ways to Display

Every Chive ceramic flower works two ways: mounted vertically as a growing gallery wall, or laid flat as a no-water tablescape. The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower's saturated color reads loudest mounted vertically, where its blue has a wall's worth of room to hold its own, and settles into something more contained laid flat among quieter pieces. Either way the color stays exactly as electric as it was the day it left the kiln. Shop the full Japan Collection.

Complete the Look

A Large Dojo Porcelain Pot nearby handles the actual drainage a living plant genuinely needs, a job this saturated cornflower was never built to do no matter how convincing its color. Something calmer in tone gives the cornflower's brightness room to be the loudest thing on the shelf. Shop the Large Dojo Porcelain Pot.

About Chive Ceramics Studio

Chive has been chasing difficult, high-saturation glazes since 2004, and blue is consistently the hardest color family to keep intense through a full kiln firing without it shifting toward grey or violet. The studio keeps detailed records of cobalt ratios for exactly this reason, since a formula that works at one temperature curve can produce a noticeably duller result at another. Electric, saturated blues in particular tend to be the least forgiving color family in the entire glaze library, rewarding precise measurement over intuition in a way softer, more muted tones simply don't demand. Two decades of that kind of record-keeping is the reason a blue this bright can now be reproduced consistently rather than treated as a lucky one-off.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower hang on the wall?

The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower hangs on a single screw using the keyhole mount on the back. Screw, wall anchor, and instructions are included. Installation takes about ninety seconds. The mount sits flush against the wall. No visible hardware. It can be repositioned without wall damage

What does a cornflower mean?

The cornflower carries meanings of delicacy, hope, and faithfulness -- it is a flower that grows in disturbed ground alongside wheat and has been associated with loyalty and constancy in the language of flowers across several European traditions. In Germany it is a national flower. In France it was adopted as a symbol of remembrance after the First World War. In the Japan Collection it is electric blue, which is its own form of constancy: a color that has committed to being exactly what it is

Is the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower good maximalist wall art?

The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower is an excellent choice for a maximalist interior. Electric blue holds its own in a layered room -- it does not recede behind other colors or require careful placement to be visible. The Lexi cornflower form is full and specific. For a wall that already has things on it and needs one element that provides a clear point of vivid color rather than contributing to the general accumulation, the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower is that element

What room suits the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower?

The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower works well in rooms where a vivid accent is the intention -- a living room with a neutral palette that wants one strong note, a home office where a single vivid piece provides energy, a bedroom where the walls run dark and the cornflower functions as a point of light. The Museum of Flight carries Chive ceramics -- a context where the relationship between blue and ambition has been thought about considerably

What style does the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower suit?

The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower suits maximalist, eclectic, and bold-minimalist interiors well -- the electric blue is vivid and specific and works as the single vivid element in an otherwise restrained room or as one vivid element among several in a maximalist one. the Japan Collection was developed from Japanese botanical principles, and electric blue is the collection's most direct departure from the restrained end of that palette

Is the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower a good gift for someone who loves color?

The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower is an excellent gift for someone who loves color and is not interested in the cautious end of it. Electric blue is vivid and specific -- it is not a color that asks permission. The cornflower form is botanical and precise. It ships gift-ready in a gift box. For someone whose aesthetic favors commitment over restraint, this is a gift that confirms their position was correct

Does the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower come gift-ready?

The Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower ships in a gift box included with purchase. No additional wrapping needed. It ships to over forty countries. The box is designed to be given directly

Is the Electric Blue Lexi Cornflower aware that its flower appeared in the tomb of Tutankhamun?

It is aware. It finds the association with a pharaoh's funeral wreath a more interesting origin story than most flowers can claim. The Museum of Flight carries this piece. The cornflower has now been in a tomb, a wheat field, a museum shop, and an increasing number of living rooms. It has range
