All Ceramic Flower Collection

Over 180 ceramic wall flowers. Made by hand.

Over 180 handmade ceramic wall flowers across five collections, stocked in the Getty Museum and 200+ art galleries worldwide — one screw, no water, permanent.

Ceramic wall flowers are three-dimensional handmade pieces that mount on a wall with a single small screw. Chive Studio has been making them. Over 180 designs across five collections — English Garden, France, Coastal, Japan, and Classic — each in reactive glazes that do not repeat exactly, because no two are made the same way twice. They go in museum gift shops and in living rooms. The installation takes ninety seconds.

55 + ENGLISH GARDEN VARIETIES: Ideal for dreamers, storytellers, and anyone who still believes in magic hiding behind garden gates.

36+ FRANCE VARIETIES: Parfait for Francophiles, hopeless romantics, and anyone who believes their home deserves a little French garden magic, no passport required.

26+ JAPAN VARIETIES: Perfect for those who appreciate minimalist design, seek daily moments of calm, and believe that true beauty lies in thoughtful simplicity.

20 COASTAL VARIETIES: Perfect for coastal dreamers, beach house enthusiasts, and anyone seeking that breezy, barefoot-on-warm-sand feeling at home.


Ceramic wall flowers — what makes them different from printed wall art

A ceramic flower has depth, weight, and surface variation that a print does not. Under different light conditions — morning sun, evening lamp, overcast afternoon — the glaze reads differently. The form casts a small shadow on the wall behind it. These are not marketing observations. They are the reasons ceramic wall art reads as genuine rather than decorative in the pejorative sense, which is why museum buyers keep buying it.

How to choose the right collection

The English Garden collection has the most variety — 56 designs, the widest palette. The France collection is romantic: blush, peach, ivory, teal. The Coastal collection stays in ivory and blue-white. The Japan collection is dark and restrained. The Classic collection is the original range. All five collections coordinate on the same wall. You do not have to pick one.

What Ceramic Wall Flowers Actually Are and Why Museums Buy Them

Ceramic wall flowers are not framed prints shaped like flowers. They are not pressed metal. They are not cast resin. Each one is individually hand-shaped from clay, glazed in a reactive glaze that produces color variation no machine can replicate, fired at high temperature, and built with a keyhole mount on the reverse so it hangs on one screw. The Getty Museum gift shop carries them. So does SFMOMA, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and more than 200 other institutions. We find this gratifying and not especially surprising.

Chive ceramic flowers have been carried at the New York Botanical Garden for over ten years, and at the Getty, Longwood Gardens, Denver Botanic Gardens, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Andy Warhol Museum, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Fourteen consecutive years at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Two-time winner of the 5-star booth award. Toronto-designed, handmade since 1999.

"The original thinking was to create a piece that you would find in an antique store's curio cabinet." — Todd Newgren, Co-founder/Designer, as featured in Vogue

Frequently asked questions about Chive ceramic flowers

What are ceramic wall flowers?

Ceramic wall flowers are individually handmade ceramic pieces designed to be mounted on a wall with a single small screw. Each one has a keyhole fitting on the back. They are not prints, decals, or reproductions — they are original ceramic objects designed by Chive Studio in Toronto and made by hand since 1999. Chive makes over 180 designs across five collections. They require no water, no sunlight, and no maintenance of any kind.

How do Chive ceramic flowers attach to the wall?

One small screw. Each Chive ceramic flower has a keyhole slot on the back. You set the screw in the wall, hang the flower on it, and it sits flat against the surface. The screw and wall anchor are included with every order. The whole process takes approximately 90 seconds. No drilling, no specialty hardware, no professional installation. If you want to move them, you remove one screw per flower and fill a very small hole.

Are Chive ceramic flowers really handmade?

Yes. Every piece is individually hand-shaped in the Chive studio without molds. No two are exactly identical. The glaze depth and surface variation are the result of being made one at a time by hand, which is why the ivory rose you receive will be slightly different from the one on the website — in the same way a real rose differs from every other rose. Chive has been making ceramic flowers this way since 1999. This is also why they end up in museum gift shops: institutions that acquire objects for their shops tend to notice the difference between handmade and manufactured.

What is unique wall decor that will last for years?

Handmade ceramic wall flowers are among the most durable wall decor options available. The ceramic is fired at high temperature, the glaze is fused permanently, and the keyhole mount is built into the piece itself. Chive ceramic flowers have been on the same walls for over twenty years without fading, chipping, or requiring any attention. They are in the gift shops of the Getty Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, SFMOMA, and over 200 other institutions. Unique, permanent, and genuinely original.

What makes good gallery wall ideas for a living room?

The most successful gallery walls combine pieces that share a design language without being identical. Chive ceramic flowers were developed as a coordinated color system, which means any combination from any of the five collections — English Garden, France, Coastal, Japan, Classic — works together. Mix sizes: a 6-inch statement flower anchors the arrangement, 4-inch and 5-inch flowers fill the middle, and 3-inch pieces work as accents. Mix flower types rather than repeating the same design. Start with three and add from there.

What wall art works well for a living room?

Ceramic wall flowers from Chive work in living rooms because they are three-dimensional, original, and coordinate with a wide range of interiors. The five collections cover different aesthetics: English Garden for cottage and traditional rooms, France Collection for romantic and French country interiors, Coastal for neutral and coastal rooms, Japan Collection for Japandi and minimalist spaces, and Classic for rooms that prefer a quieter palette. All collections can be mixed. Each flower mounts with one screw and can be rearranged at any time.

How many designs does Chive make and which collection should I start with?

Chive currently makes over 180 ceramic flower designs across five collections. The English Garden collection is the largest, with 56 designs — roses, ranunculas, peonies, anemones, chrysanthemums, and dahlias in a full range of colors. The France Collection offers a romantic palette in blush, peach, and teal. The Coastal Collection is the neutral range — ivory and blue-white. The Japan Collection offers a dark, muted palette. The Classic Collection is the original range from 1999. If you are starting out, begin with the collection whose colors already work with your walls.

What is a good gift for coworkers that is not a candle or a food item?

Chive ceramic wall flowers. They come in gift-ready packaging, ship to over 40 countries, require no watering, no light, and no follow-up maintenance from the recipient. They are in the gift shops of the Getty Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago, which is the kind of institutional endorsement that makes a gift feel considered rather than last-minute. At $18 to $48 USD per flower, they are in the range of a thoughtful gift rather than an obligation. The flowers are also small enough to fit in a bag, which is relevant when you are bringing something to the office.
