Classic Collection ceramic wall flowers have a hierarchy, and the Mofo is at the top of it. The Mofo launched in green at $55. Everyone in the market said that was insane. It sold out in a week. Customers then asked Chive if they could make even bigger flowers. This confused the studio because they had already made the biggest flower they thought was possible. The Mofo is named for what the team called it in the studio — the biggest motherf***ing flower they had ever made — and the name has been accurate since the day it launched. It is retiring with dignity, which it has earned.

The flower that was supposed to be too expensive and too large

Chive had been making ceramic wall flowers retailing at $20–25 before the Mofo. The decision to make the Mofo was a deliberate act of ambition — to produce something large enough that the scale itself became the statement. The green glaze was the original Mofo color, the green that Chive has been working with since 1999. At 11 inches in the Mofo form, the green holds differently than it does in smaller forms — the scale changes the color's relationship to the wall from accent to presence. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries the Classic Collection. They chose the glossy oil-black custom piece Chive made for the enjoyment of making it, which is the same spirit in which the Mofo was designed.

The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries the Classic Collection. The Art Gallery of Ontario stocks it. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years.

A gift for the person who wants the retiring-with-dignity flower before it is gone

Chive artisan hand-made ceramic flower petal without molds with keyholes for hanging

Ceramic flowers, original designs by Chive

Every piece in the Classic collection begins the same way — a flower sketch on paper in our Toronto design studio. Our designers work from the blooms themselves: roses drawn at different stages of opening, tulips studied for how the petal curves at the lip, peonies mapped across their full range of glaze colours. Each ceramic flower is developed by hand and refined through studio testing before it goes anywhere near production.

This is the collection that started everything. Classic ceramic flowers have been the core of Chive's design work for 25 years — not because they're safe, but because a well-made flower in ceramic is genuinely difficult to get right and worth getting right. Form, stem weight, glaze depth, the way a piece sits in a vase or stands alone on a shelf. All of it matters.

Ceramic flower art for interiors that value the original over the approximate. Never mass-market.

How to Hang Ceramic Flowers?

In 60 seconds or less

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Mofo and why is it retiring?

The Mofo is the largest flower Chive had ever made when it launched — 11 inches, green, at a $55 price point that everyone in the market said was insane. It sold out in a week. The Mofo is named for what the studio actually called it. It is retiring with dignity from the Classic Collection after years of being the largest and most recognizable piece in the range. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries it.

Why did Chive name it the Mofo?

The Mofo is named for what the studio team called it when they made it: the biggest motherf***ing flower they had ever produced. The name is literal. The product earned it. Chive considered other names and determined that the actual name was better than any alternative they could construct. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries the Classic Collection and appears to agree.

Why did everyone think $55 was insane for a ceramic flower?

In the market context when the Mofo launched, Chive's ceramic wall flowers were retailing at $20–25. A $55 ceramic flower was a 2–3x price increase on what the market expected. It sold out in a week. The market was wrong. Customers then asked for even bigger flowers, which confused the studio. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries the Classic Collection.

Is the Mofo the same as the Mofo Mint Peony in the Classic Collection?

The Mofo Green is the original Mofo — the 11-inch large flower form in green. The Mofo Mint Peony is a separate Classic Collection piece with a different form (peony) and color (mint). Both have Mofo in the name because both earned the designation. The Mofo Green is the original that launched at $55 and established the format. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries both.

Is this the last chance to buy the Mofo?

The Mofo is retiring with dignity — current stock is the available stock. When it sells out, it is retired. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries the Classic Collection. For the person who has wanted the Mofo since the $55 launch and has been deliberating, the retirement timeline provides a natural deadline.

What size wall space does the Mofo need?

The Mofo is 11 inches — a size that reads as the primary botanical statement on any wall where it hangs. It benefits from wall space with some room around it rather than being crowded by other pieces. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries the Classic Collection. Their display contexts are not cramped.

Is the Mofo a good gift for someone who already has Classic Collection pieces?

The Mofo Green is the specific gift for a Classic Collection enthusiast because it is the collection's most historically significant piece — the one that changed Chive's price architecture and proved the market was wrong about what people would pay for a ceramic wall flower. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries the Classic Collection.

Does the Mofo know it is retiring with dignity?

The Mofo launched at a price everyone said was insane, sold out in a week, and has been in the Classic Collection ever since. Whether the ceramic object has been formally informed of its impending retirement is not documented. The Chihuly Garden and Glass carries it. It hangs on walls at 11 inches in green. The dignity appears to have been present from the beginning.
