Coastal Collection

Blue White Purslane

The purslane that is blue white and is the Coastal blue white set's most botanically unexpected form

$32.15

Purslane is not a flower most people expect to find in a ceramic wall collection. It grows in coastal sand and the cracks between pavement — a plant that appears where nothing else bothers. The Blue White Purslane is a glazed ceramic wall sculpture 3.7 inches wide and 2 inches deep, shaped after that exact form. One screw, keyhole mount on the back. Ships gift-ready. In blue white ceramic it is the piece that makes botanical people stop. Available individually or as part of the full eleven-piece set.

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.

What people are saying

The purslane that grows in coastal sand and arrived in the Coastal blue white set without needing an introduction

Purslane is not a flower most people expect to find in a ceramic wall art collection. It is a small succulent-leaved wildflower that grows in coastal sand, rocky margins, and the cracks between pavement. A plant that appears where nothing else bothers. In blue white on a keyhole mount it is the Coastal blue white set's most unexpected piece and the one that earns a second look from anyone who recognizes the form.

The Coastal blue white set is eleven blue white ceramics in the Coastal Collection. The Blue White Purslane is the one that makes botanical gardeners stop. Chive exhibits at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for 14 consecutive years.

Portulaca in the Coastal blue white set — the coastal wildflower that already lived where the set was named for

Portulaca oleracea, common purslane, is a coastal-adapted wildflower that grows in sandy, rocky, and disturbed ground along the Atlantic coastline of North America, including the barrier island environments that define Coastal blue white. The five-petaled form is small, precise, and botanically specific.

The Blue White Purslane is the Coastal blue white set piece that most rewards botanical knowledge. In blue white ceramic it is the most unexpected and most correctly placed form in the eleven-piece arrangement.

Frequently asked questions

What is purslane and why is it in the Coastal blue white set?

Purslane, Portulaca, is a small succulent-leaved wildflower that grows in coastal sand and rocky margins along the Atlantic coastline of North America, including the sandy environments of the Coastal blue white collection. In the Coastal blue white set it is the most botanically placed piece: the form that already grew where the collection is named for.

Does purslane actually grow on the island?

Yes. Portulaca species grow in sandy coastal margins, rocky cliffs, and the disturbed ground along the Atlantic seaboard. The coast's sandy soil and coastal environment are exactly the conditions where purslane is found. It is the Coastal blue white set piece that belongs to the island's actual ecology rather than just its color palette.

Is the Blue White Purslane a good gift for a gardener?

The Blue White Purslane is a specific gift for a gardener or botanist who will recognize the form. It is the piece that signals a deliberate botanical choice rather than a generic floral selection. For coastal gardeners the purslane is a form they already find in the margins of their garden.

What room suits the Blue White Purslane?

The Blue White Purslane works in bathrooms, kitchens, and small entryways where the compact five-petaled form suits the scale. In a full Coastal blue white set arrangement it works as a supporting piece alongside the larger proteas and peonies.

Can the Blue White Purslane work in a gallery wall?

The Blue White Purslane works as a fill piece in a gallery wall arrangement. Its compact, open five-petaled form provides a light botanical note alongside larger Coastal blue white set pieces or framed art.

What interior styles suit the Blue White Purslane?

The Blue White Purslane suits coastal, botanical, Scandinavian, and minimalist interiors. The form is small and precise. It works in rooms where one specific botanical element is the intended effect.

Does the Blue White Purslane come in a gift box?

The Blue White Purslane ships in a gift box included with purchase. No additional wrapping needed. Ships to over 40 countries.

How does the Blue White Purslane hang on the wall?

The Blue White Purslane hangs on a single screw using the keyhole mount on the back. Screw, wall anchor, and instructions are included. Installation takes about ninety seconds. The mount sits flush against the wall once hung with no visible hardware.
