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 22nd anniversary gift with the authority of October behind it: the Orange Sarah Mum is a ceramic wall flower in the same warm, emphatic orange the chrysanthemum has claimed for autumn in every grocery store parking lot in North America, simultaneously, for as long as anyone can remember. Four and a half inches across. One screw, no water, no maintenance. The Sarah variety carries more petals than strictly seems necessary — a chrysanthemum that has not been told when to stop, which in orange, at this density, resolves into something the studio found extremely difficult to resist producing in ceramic. The piece works on a wall in February with exactly as much conviction as it does on a table in October, which is the whole point. The 22nd anniversary is copper; orange is copper’s warmer argument. Ships gift-boxed. Carried by the Art Gallery of Ontario, where it is part of the studio’s permanent institutional line.

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 Warmest Statement in the Room

The chrysanthemum arrives in October at every grocery store in America simultaneously, as if dispatched from a central location by someone who has made a decision on behalf of autumn and does not require your input. It sits outside the sliding doors next to the pumpkins and the bags of candy corn that only exist because someone in the candy corn organization has dirt on someone in the grocery store organization. The Sarah variety has more petals than seems strictly necessary. It has clearly never been told when to stop, which in October, in America, in orange, feels less like a design choice and more like a warning. My mother bought them every year without fail from the grocery store parking lot in the specific way she did all her seasonal decorating — efficiently and without romance and with a complete absence of the anxiety that the rest of us bring to objects that are supposed to represent something. She put them in two clay pots on either side of the front door and that was autumn. Autumn was handled. She had receipts. The ceramic version looks exactly as correct on a wall in February as it does outside a sliding door in October, which is something she would have filed away without comment.

English Garden Curated Collection - Hackney - Chive Ceramics Studio - Chive Ceramics Studio

Part of the English Garden Collection

The English Garden collection borrows its chaos from cottage beds never pruned into submission — rambling roses, over-full peonies, zinnias that stayed uninvited. Every piece trades one fussy bloom for an overgrown afternoon. The Orange Sarah Mum is the collection's warmest orange statement, dense and emphatic in the manner of a single specific October. A cooler-toned strawflower balances the pairing nicely.

Explore the Fir Green Butterfly Ranunculus.

Two Ways to Display

Every Chive ceramic flower works two ways: mounted vertically as part of a gallery wall that grows one piece at a time, or laid flat across an entryway console or shelf as a tablescape that never needs the water changed. The keyhole on the back handles the wall version; the base handles the surface version. Most people start with one flower and end up needing both configurations before they admit it.

Shop the full ceramic flower collection to start building either one.

Complete the Look

The Virago Porcelain Pot pairs with the Orange Sarah Mum in the way that porcelain pairs with ceramic: quietly, without competition. Clean form, a profile that does not need to announce itself next to something already orange and emphatic. Put something green in the Virago. Let the mum handle the orange side of the conversation. The studio has been recommending this pairing for years and sees no reason to stop.


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

A Color Tied to One Specific October

Since 2004, the studio has built its botanical wall art catalog from forms associated with specific seasons and occasions, and the chrysanthemum was an obvious inclusion — no flower occupies autumn more completely, with less effort, across more retail environments simultaneously. The Sarah variety was selected for the mum line because the dense petal count produces a form with strong visual depth at the four-and-a-half-inch scale. The warm orange on this mum was tuned to match the specific hue of a grocery-store parking lot chrysanthemum in October, which sounds like faint praise and is not — that particular orange is one of the most consistently correct warm tones the studio has worked with. The Sarah mum has more individual petals than any other piece in the English Garden collection; forming is done in radial sections rather than a single continuous pass.

Frequently asked questions

How does an Orange Sarah Mum hang on the wall?

The Orange Sarah Mum has a keyhole mount on the back that fits over one screw in any standard wall surface — no anchor required, no drill needed for most residential walls. The four-and-a-half-inch form hangs flush and stays there. The studio has been sending ceramic flowers to walls this way since 2004 and is confident in the mechanism, which has never once been the reason a piece came down.

What is a meaningful 22nd anniversary gift idea?

A meaningful 22nd anniversary gift is one that stays on the wall past the party. The Orange Sarah Mum is a ceramic wall flower in warm orange that ships gift-boxed and requires no maintenance after hanging — no watering, no seasonal replacement, no annual decision about whether to buy another one. The 22nd anniversary is copper; warm orange makes the copper argument on most walls without anyone needing to explain the math.

What does a mum flower mean as an anniversary gift?

A mum flower means cheerfulness, longevity, and in many cultures the specific combination of both — which makes it a surprisingly accurate anniversary flower. The Orange Sarah Mum is a ceramic wall flower that carries these associations in the warm orange associated with the 22nd anniversary’s copper tradition. The studio selected the Sarah variety specifically because the dense petal count produces a form with more staying power than a simpler bloom at the same scale.

Does an Orange Sarah Mum work as bold home decor?

The Orange Sarah Mum works as bold home decor because the warm orange is emphatic rather than subtle and the dense Sarah petal structure gives it enough visual weight to carry a wall on its own. The studio designed this variety for rooms that can handle a statement — a kitchen accent wall, a front hallway, an entryway that needed something warm and decided. It has never been accused of shying away from the role.

Does an Orange Sarah Mum ship as a holiday gift?

The Orange Sarah Mum ships in a Chive gift box with protective packaging and is designed to be given as a holiday gift without additional wrapping. The box presents as-is. The studio has been shipping ceramic flowers for the holiday season since 2004, which has taught it that the most useful thing a gift can do is arrive ready and require nothing further from the person giving it.

What is a copper-anniversary gift for a sister-in-law?

A copper-anniversary gift for a sister-in-law that lasts longer than copper itself: the Orange Sarah Mum is a ceramic wall flower in the warm orange associated with the 22nd anniversary’s copper tradition. It ships gift-boxed, hangs on one screw, and does not require the recipient to do anything after the screw is in. The studio considers “nothing required afterward” one of the form’s most underrated features in this gift category.

How long does an Orange Sarah Mum last versus a fresh mum?

An Orange Sarah Mum in ceramic lasts indefinitely — no seasonal die-back, no winter care, no potting decisions in spring. A fresh grocery-store mum in good conditions lasts two to three weeks before the decision about what to do with it begins. The ceramic version skips this decision entirely. The studio has been making it since 2004 and considers the absence of that particular autumn conversation a design feature.

Is a ceramic mum a good anniversary gift for a sister-in-law?

A ceramic mum is an excellent anniversary gift for a sister-in-law because it arrives ready, requires nothing after hanging, and will look exactly the same on the wall in fifteen years as it does today. The Orange Sarah Mum ships in a gift box, hangs on one screw, and never needs water. The studio made it for occasions where the right answer is something that outlasts the event.
