Milk Teal Elegance Ranunculus

Once explained, it cannot be unexplained.

Regular price $27.15

Milk teal is a color that requires some explanation and then, once explained, requires no further justification. It is the color of something that started as teal and then decided to be less certain about it. The Elegance Ranunculus, which already has more petals than any reasonable flower needs, has been given this color and arrived at something that is genuinely difficult to look away from. We have looked away from it. We have come back every time. 3.54 inches across. One screw. No water.

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.

Milk Teal and the Ocean That Had One Good Day

Milk teal is a color that exists in the space between teal and white — not a pastel, not a wash, but a teal that has been altered by something and cannot return to what it was before. On the Elegance Ranunculus form, with one hundred petals layering the color across the surface, milk teal reads differently at different depths. The recesses are darker. The curved surfaces catch the light and brighten. The overall effect is a flower that looks different every time you look at it.

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, Connecticut, carries Chive ceramics — a Long Island Sound institution where the France Collection sits in a context that understands exactly what milk teal looks like in natural water light. The San Diego Museum of Art also stocks Chive, which means this ranunculus has been evaluated against both natural and fine art standards and found to hold its own in both.

The Elegance Ranunculus in Milk Teal

We have exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for thirteen consecutive years, receiving the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given. The Milk Teal Elegance Ranunculus has been at Chelsea. The judges saw the milk teal against the France Collection palette and gave it five stars, which is the correct response. The flower accepted this without apparent surprise.

The ceramic wall flower hangs on one screw. The keyhole slot is on the back. The teal ocean had one very good day. One screw. Ninety seconds. The milk has already spread. Designed in Toronto, made by hand since 1999.

Frequently asked questions

What does a ranunculus represent?

The ranunculus represents charm, radiance, and the Victorian declaration that someone's charms are dazzling — a position the Elegance Ranunculus takes with one hundred petals and no apparent effort. In milk teal, the charm is cool and specific — the color of a precise moment in a specific body of water on a day that cannot quite be described to someone who was not there. The ranunculus accepted this brief without question.

What is a good 15th anniversary gift?

The 15th anniversary is the crystal anniversary, which invites objects that catch light. A ceramic wall flower in milk teal catches light differently at different times of day — the glaze surface shifts from matte depth to bright surface depending on the angle. The Milk Teal Elegance Ranunculus has been catching light on walls for years and has never looked the same twice, which is a quality worth fifteen years.

What is a good wedding gift?

The best wedding gift is something that goes on the wall of the first apartment and stays on the wall of every apartment after that. The Milk Teal Elegance Ranunculus is the wedding gift that will be on the wall at the tenth anniversary and the twenty-fifth, at which point it will be the most stable thing in the room. Ships in a custom Chive gift box. One screw. Free shipping on qualifying orders.

What is good bathroom wall decor?

Milk teal in a bathroom is the color of the water in the best light the room will ever have. The Milk Teal Elegance Ranunculus works in bathrooms because the color was made for this kind of light — the cool, slightly blue-toned light of a white-tiled room. The ranunculus form is detailed enough to reward the close attention that bathroom art receives. Ceramic. Does not require humidity-resistant anything. Has always been fine.

What is good boho wall decor?

Boho decor rewards objects with texture, depth, and the feeling of having been somewhere before they got to your wall. The Milk Teal Elegance Ranunculus has been in maritime collections, museum shops, and Chelsea — it has been somewhere. The milk teal glaze has depth that rewards looking, and the one-hundred-petal ranunculus form is organic and structured at once. In a boho room it reads as the most considered piece there, which is the right effect.

Is this ready for gift giving?

It ships in a custom Chive gift box — no wrapping required on your end. The box is the kind that survives being opened enthusiastically by someone who did not expect something this good, which is most of our customers. Free shipping on qualifying orders.

Is milk teal a color that can be explained to someone who wasn't there?

No. Milk teal is the teal ocean on the best day it has ever had, after someone added a single drop of milk and watched it spread. The color is not ruined. It is not improved. It is permanently altered in a way that cannot be reversed or described to someone who was not present for the alteration. The Elegance Ranunculus accepted the color without question. Some flowers simply receive a color and commit to it, which is either enlightened or incurious, and in this case the distinction does not matter.

How do you hang a ceramic wall flower?

One screw and 90 seconds. The ceramic wall flower has a keyhole slot on the back. Put a screw in the wall, hang the flower, done. No tools required after the screw goes in. No hardware kit. No instruction sheet. One screw. Ninety seconds. The screw is not included but a screw is something you have.
