Pastel Blue Rose
Gifts for plant lovers who already have everything tend to involve either more plants, which is the problem, or a scented candle, which is its own kind of surrender. The Pastel Blue Rose is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the English Garden Collection — kiln-fired, hand-glazed, and mounted on a wall with one screw in approximately 90 seconds. It requires no water, no light, no seasonal guilt, and no conversation about whether the bathroom gets enough sun. It is pastel blue. It is a rose. It has been on the wall of the Art Institute of Chicago gift shop for several years and has not complained once.
Ceramic wall art for a bedroom that asks nothing of you at 7am
The pastel blue glaze sits differently in morning light than it does in the evening, which is the kind of thing you notice after you've hung it and then keep noticing. It was developed as part of the English Garden Collection — Chive's largest collection, launched at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, which it always rains at, and where Chive has received the 5-star booth award twice, a rating that does not technically exist on the internet because it only goes to 4 stars publicly. The 5-star award is real. The internet is incomplete.
Chive Studio has been designing and handmaking ceramic wall flowers in Toronto since 1999. The English Garden Collection is stocked in the gift shop of the Art Institute of Chicago, the New York Botanical Garden, and the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show has awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. The gift shop curators at these institutions are not known for easy decisions, and they have been reordering for years.
The 9th anniversary gift is ceramic, which surprised everyone including us
Somebody decided the 9th anniversary gift should be ceramic and we have chosen not to interrogate that decision, only to benefit from it. Paper was first. Wood was second. Ceramic came ninth, ahead of tin and steel and crystal, which tells you something about the committee. The Pastel Blue Rose ships in a Chive gift box, ready to give, with no assembly required beyond finding the wall.
