Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower

We are aware of the name.

Regular price $71.25

The Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower is a ceramic wall flower, and we are aware of the name. Empire Cabbage sounds like something you would order at a restaurant without fully understanding what it was, and then when it arrived you would be surprised by how good it was and not tell anyone you ordered it. Burnt yellow helps with that. The flower itself is extraordinary: a tightly petalled dome of a bloom that rewards looking. Made by Chive Studio. One screw.

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 Empire Cabbage Flower and What Burnt Yellow Did

The Empire Cabbage Flower is named for the tight, layered dome of petals that resembles a cabbage at its most architectural — a comparison that sounds like it should be unflattering and is actually precise. The petals are densely packed, the form is compact and regular, and the overall shape has a structural quality that rewards looking at from any distance. In burnt yellow, the architecture becomes warmth — the amber tone of a color that has decided what it is and is not revisiting the decision.

The Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut — the birthplace of American Impressionism, where the landscape and light of the Connecticut River valley shaped how American artists understood color — carries Chive ceramics. The Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower has been found appropriate for that context, which is a more specific endorsement than it sounds.

A Name and What Comes After It

Empire Cabbage is not the prettiest name we have ever given a flower and we acknowledged that at the time. But the flower arrived in this form — this tightly petalled, architecturally committed dome of a bloom — and burnt yellow made the best of the naming situation in the way that burnt yellow makes the best of all situations. The France Collection has room for a flower named Empire Cabbage in burnt yellow. Every collection should.

The ceramic wall flower hangs on one screw. The keyhole slot is on the back. Burnt yellow made the best of this. One screw. Ninety seconds. It turned out to be good.

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 an Empire Cabbage Flower?

The Empire Cabbage Flower is a ceramic flower designed by Chive Studio with a tightly petalled dome form that references the structural density of a cabbage at its most architectural — a comparison that is more precise than it initially sounds. The petals are layered close together, the form is compact and regular, and the bloom reads clearly at distance and rewards closer attention. In burnt yellow, it is one of the more unusual pieces in the France Collection, which is the correct position for it.

What is a good 30th anniversary gift?

The 30th anniversary is pearl. A handmade ceramic wall flower in burnt yellow is the 30th anniversary gift that will be on the wall at the 40th anniversary and the 50th, at which point it will be the most reliably present thing in the room. Ships in a custom Chive gift box. One screw. Free shipping on qualifying orders. Burnt yellow has always been good at making the best of a long-term situation.

What is a good client gift?

A client gift that suggests you thought about it — not aggressively personal, but specific enough to communicate that you made an actual decision. The Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower is the kind of gift that prompts a question about where it came from, which means the client will think about you every time someone asks. Ships in a custom Chive gift box. Free shipping on qualifying orders.

What is good home office wall art?

The Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower is warm and specific — the kind of object that reads as deliberately chosen on a video call without requiring explanation. The dome form is architectural and identifiable at camera range. Burnt yellow is warm enough to make the office look inhabited. Hangs on one screw. Does not require a frame or leveling tools beyond the standard check. Is the kind of object people ask about, which is occasionally useful.

What is good maximalist decor?

Maximalist decor works when every piece is specific enough to hold its own. The Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower is architecturally distinct — the tight dome form and amber burnt yellow are specific enough to read as deliberate in a full room. In a maximalist arrangement it is the warmest and most structural piece, which is the correct role for a flower named Empire Cabbage in a room that has committed to having things on every surface.

Did anyone order Empire Cabbage knowing what it was?

No. Empire Cabbage is the item at the bottom of the menu that sounds like a translation error and arrives as something completely different from what you were prepared for — tightly petalled, architecturally confident, unreasonably good for something with that name. Burnt yellow made the best of the naming situation, which it has always been equipped to do. The person who ordered it was surprised by how good it was and did not tell anyone at the table what they had ordered. The flower was not surprised. It has always known exactly what it was.

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.

What do you need to hang a ceramic wall flower?

One screw. The ceramic wall flower has a keyhole slot on the back — the screw goes into the wall, the flower hangs on it, done. No special hardware. No anchors. No adhesive. If the wall is plaster or masonry, use a masonry bit. If it's drywall, a standard screw works. The flower is ceramic. It has never asked for anything more than a screw.
