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


A gift for a bride should say more than the card that comes with it, and Mofo Mint Peony was built to do exactly that. It's the follow-up to the studio's original Mofo peony, tested against three other greens before mint won so decisively that nobody argued about it twice. The color reads as fresh, confident classic home decor rather than anything explicitly bridal, which is part of why it works as both. Shaped by hand at Chive Ceramics Studio, every peony keeps its own slightly different fold in the petals. It hangs from a single hook needing no water and no vase before the reception photos even happen. It also covers wedding gift ideas for anyone tired of registries. The Museum of Arts and Design in New York has carried a rotating case of Chive ceramic pieces, this mint peony a few galleries over from work that took considerably longer to finish.

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.

A Peony Wearing Mint Instead of Pink

The original Mofo earned its name the way every "Mofo" piece in this studio does: it went around the room for approval and every single person reacted the same way before anyone said a word out loud, which became the unofficial bar for the name ever since. That piece was such a clean win that the obvious next move was Mofo Mint, a decision that is either excellent brand instinct or proof that once a name works, nobody around here asks any more questions about it. Three other greens were tested against this exact peony shape before mint got anywhere near the final glaze list, and none of them landed the way mint eventually did. It didn't win by a narrow margin, either. It walked into the room and settled the matter almost immediately, the way the genuinely good ones tend to. Mofo Green, for context, had already cleared every desk in the building without a single objection. Mofo Mint did it faster, which nobody on staff expected and which has since triggered a quiet, ongoing internal debate about whether mint is simply the better color or whether everyone here is just easier to impress the second time a good idea shows up wearing a familiar name.

Designed to Share the Same Room

Succulent Blue ceramic wall flower styled on wall — Classic Collection — Chive Studio Toronto

Part of the Classic Collection

The Classic collection never bothered chasing whatever trend was passing through — a rose that looked correct in 1974 and will look correct in 2074, glazed in colors that refuse to change. Every piece trades novelty for something worth keeping. This peony is the mint follow-up to the studio's original Mofo shape, tested against three other greens before it won the room decisively.

Explore the Ceramic Flower Green.

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. Mounted, the mint peony suits a dresser or vanity particularly well, offering a fresh, quiet accent rather than a loud, bold statement piece. Resting flat on a bridal shower table instead, it substitutes for a real centerpiece through the entire event, without a single stem of actual greenery needed anywhere alongside it.

Complete the Look

Set the mint peony above the Tika Pot & Saucer, 5-Inch rather than directly beside it, so the arrangement reads as a tiered vanity display instead of two unrelated objects sharing a shelf. The peony catches the eye first, given its color and shape. The pot holds something that actually requires the attention the peony was specifically built to never need.

The Mofo Shape's Cooler Cousin

A shape sometimes earns its own private vocabulary at Chive, the kind of internal shorthand that only really makes sense to people who've spent years testing glazes together in the exact same room, year after year. That culture has built up gradually since the studio's founding in 2004, alongside the actual product line it quietly describes behind the scenes. The naming conventions themselves are mostly just for fun, honestly. The underlying standard behind them isn't: a color only ships once it genuinely holds up next to whatever the team already trusts most in the existing lineup. Everything that clears that bar hangs from one point and requires nothing further, ever.

Frequently asked questions

How does a Mofo Mint Peony hang on the wall?

A Mofo Mint Peony hangs from a single picture hook, the same simple setup used across the studio's peony shapes regardless of glaze. No wire, no bracket, no wall anchor needed for most drywall. It sits flat once it's up and holds that position without drifting. The unusual name has nothing to do with how straightforward the mounting actually is.

Is a Mofo Mint Peony good gift for bride?

A Mofo Mint Peony good gift for a bride works because it reads as fresh and considered rather than explicitly bridal, which means it doesn't feel out of place once the wedding is over. It's specific enough to feel chosen rather than picked off a generic registry. Most bridal gifts get boxed up eventually. This one just stays on the wall.

Is a Mofo Mint Peony a good wedding gift ideas?

A Mofo Mint Peony good wedding gift ideas question comes up a lot for guests tired of the standard registry options everyone else is also buying. It's unusual enough to stand out among a stack of kitchen gadgets and serving dishes. Couples remember the gifts that don't look like everything else they received that same week.

Does a Mofo Mint Peony work as classic home decor?

A Mofo Mint Peony works as classic home decor rather than anything explicitly tied to a wedding theme, which is part of why it holds up well past the event itself. The mint reads as fresh and confident without leaning seasonal. It slots into a home the couple actually lives in, not just the one they registered for.

Does a Mofo Mint Peony ship in a gift box?

A Mofo Mint Peony ships in a gift box, ready to hand over without a stop at the wrapping counter first. The mounting hook rides inside the same box, so nothing needs to be sourced separately before hanging it. It's built to go straight from delivery to the happy couple, timing around the wedding included.

What is a good gift for a bride?

A good gift for a bride should feel more specific than whatever's left on the registry by the time most guests get around to shopping. Something with an unusual name and an actual story tends to stand out at the gift table. Most bridal gifts get returned or exchanged. This one rarely does.

How long does a mofo mint peony last versus a fresh one?

A mofo mint peony lasts indefinitely on a wall, unlike a fresh peony, which typically holds for about a week in a vase before the petals begin dropping regardless of care taken. No trimming, no water changes, no cleanup once it inevitably fades before the thank-you cards even go out. It just stays mint, permanently.

Is a Mofo Mint Peony truly worth buying, not just decent?

A Mofo Mint Peony is worth buying beyond just decent, mostly because it beat three other tested greens on the exact same shape before earning its spot in the catalog. That's a real track record, not just a marketing claim. Few pieces in this line can say they won that decisively.
