Build Your Floral Wall With These:

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

Flower that represents calm is a search that starts with a specific feeling and arrives here with some frequency. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily is a ceramic wall flower — handmade by Chive, named for Aurora, goddess of dawn, who has performed the same task every morning for longer than anyone has been watching and has never once been late. Robin’s egg blue is the color of the brief specific moment before the day commits to being whatever it turns out to be. Water lilies mean peace, enlightenment, and the composure of something that grows in difficult conditions without losing its form. A standard picture hook is all the installation requires. No water. No maintenance. No slow drift from where it began. It ships in a gift box, ready to give at any occasion that calls for stillness. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily is carried by the Portland Art Museum.

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 Flower That Arrives Composed

We made the Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily because robin’s egg blue is the color of the brief specific moment before the day commits to being whatever day it turns out to be, and we did not want it to last only briefly.

Aurora is the goddess of dawn. Someone in the water lily development world decided this was the name for a lily that blooms in the first light and stays there — which we think was one of the better naming decisions in the horticulture industry’s recent history. Aurora has been doing the same thing every morning for longer than anyone has been watching and has never once been late.

Water lilies mean peace. They mean enlightenment. They mean the particular composure of something that grows in conditions that would discourage almost anything else and arrives at the surface looking as though none of that happened. We find this applicable to more situations than just the aquatic ones.

Since 2004, Chive has made ceramic flowers one piece at a time, each shaped by hand from a live plant. This one was made for anyone who knows what it is like to want the moment before the day starts to last a few minutes longer.

Three ways to display it

Stunning table accent

Prop on a table, shelf, or beside books.

A gift that arrives beautifully

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 Robin's Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily holds the form of a flower that grows through difficult conditions to arrive at a still surface.

Browse the English Garden collection.

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 wall flower handles the vertical. The Tika Pot and Saucer, 3-inch handles the surface: a proportional pot for a plant that does not need to be the center of anything, just quietly present in a space that has decided what it is for. The result is a room that has thought about both the wall and what is standing in front of it.

The Blue of Before the Day Begins

We opened Chive Ceramics Studio in 2004 because we preserve forms that would otherwise keep revising themselves downward toward an ending. The fresh flower’s ending is not a criticism — it is a condition of being a flower. We simply prefer the form at its best, held there indefinitely.

Water lilies were not among our earliest varieties. We came to them later, after someone pointed out that a flower growing through difficulty to arrive at a still surface and remain composed was exactly the kind of argument we had been trying to make in ceramic for years.

We held a sample. We looked at the color. We made it.

Each piece in our catalog is shaped and glazed by hand. The pieces are not identical; they are made from the same intention, one at a time, in a studio that has worked this way since 2004.

Frequently asked questions

How does a Robin's Egg Aurora Water Lily hang on the wall?

Flower that represents calm does not extend to complicated installation. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily weighs under two pounds and hangs on any wall that accepts a standard picture hook or a single screw. No anchors, no special hardware, no drilling into structural elements. The calm begins before the flower is on the wall.

What flower represents calm as a thoughtful gift?

Flower that represents calm: the water lily. It grows in conditions that would exhaust most things, arrives at the surface composed, and floats there indefinitely in a way that a room full of people who need calm finds quietly instructive. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily is a ceramic wall flower for rooms and people that want to be what the water lily is.

Is an Aurora Water Lily a good gift for new homeowners?

Flower that represents calm, as a gift for new homeowners: extremely well-timed. New homeowners have just made a large decision and are surrounded by boxes. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily ships gift-ready, hangs on one screw, and does not add another project to the list. It is the piece that says the room is ready.

Does an Aurora Water Lily work as calm bedroom decor?

Flower that represents calm in a bedroom: everything the bedroom is trying to be. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily in robin’s egg blue on a wall above the bed or the dresser brings the quality of early morning into a room that benefits from it. No water. No care schedule. Just the color and the form.

Does an Aurora Water Lily ship ready for the holidays?

Flower that represents calm ships in a Chive gift box, complete with wall hardware, ready to give without additional wrapping. During the holidays, when most gifts require more than intended, a piece that arrives boxed and ready represents the particular calm the Aurora Water Lily is named after. Aurora has always arrived on time.

What is a gift for new homeowners settling into calm spaces?

Flower that represents calm for a new homeowner: the gift that says the space is becoming what it was meant to be. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily ships gift-ready, hangs on a single screw, and contributes nothing to the project list. Permanently the color of the first quiet morning in a new house.

How long does an Aurora Water Lily last versus a fresh one?

A fresh water lily in bloom lasts approximately three days in an arrangement before the flower that represents calm becomes something to dispose of. The ceramic Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily holds the form and color indefinitely. On the wall of the new house long after the moving boxes have been recycled.

Is a ceramic water lily a good housewarming gift idea?

Flower that represents calm in ceramic is an exceptional housewarming gift because it asks nothing of the recipient. The Robin’s Egg Blue Aurora Water Lily ships gift-ready, hangs on one picture hook, and does not need water, light, or attention. In a new house that needs all three applied elsewhere, this is the correct gift.
