Ceramic Flower Mondo Teal 12

Sale price $44.00 Regular price $55.00

I never thought I'd be the type to wax poetic about fake flowers, but here I am, extolling the virtues of a ceramic sea monster masquerading as abstract artwork. It's the kind of thing that would make my father shake his head and mutter, "I didn't send you to college for this." But this green behemoth, with its pointy arms reaching out like it's trying to high-five the couch, has become the unexpected star of our living room. It's larger than life living room wall art, much like my childhood dreams of becoming a professional mime - only this actually impresses people. When my sister first saw it, she squinted and asked, "Is that a starfish or did your wallpaper come alive?" I couldn't blame her. It's more "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" than "Better Homes and Gardens," but that's precisely its charm. My friend, ever the pragmatist, pointed out that at least this ocean dweller wouldn't leave water stains on the wall or attract curious neighborhood cats. He's right, of course. It's all the wonder of marine life without the need for scuba gear or fish food. Our friends now enter the living room with a mix of awe and confusion, as if they've stumbled into an avant-garde aquarium. "It's abstract artwork," I tell them, which is code for "Please don't ask me to explain it." But secretly, I love how this faux-quatic masterpiece has turned our humble abode into a conversation piece. It's living proof that sometimes, the best way to make a splash is to hang it on your wall.

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.

SO IN LOVE WITH THESE CERAMIC FLOWERS!!!!!

Scale the Studio Doesn't Attempt Often

The Classic pieces are the ones that started the argument about which flower goes where. Ivory, grey, white, the occasional decision that nobody at the studio fully understood at the time and turned out to be correct. Browse the full collection and find the combination that has been waiting for your wall since before you knew you needed it.

Three ways to display it

Stunning table accent

Prop on a table, shelf, or beside books.

A gift that arrives beautifully

Beautiful Signature box. No wrapping needed.

English Garden Collection Ceramic flowers arranged on wall display as home decor art — Chive Studio Toronto

Ready to hang wall art

One screw. No Frame. Solo or gallery wall


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

The Mondo Shape, Full Size

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.
