French country decor in the south of France includes the begonia — the tuberous begonia in particular, which covers the window boxes and garden borders of Provence in summer and has been grown in French decorative horticulture since the 19th century. The Blush Pink Begonia is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the France Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a blush pink glaze, shaped in the begonia form — layered, multi-petaled, the cultivated form that creates significant surface depth in ceramic.

The layered warmth of a collection French Vogue chose to run

Chive interprets the French Vogue feature as an endorsement. The begonia form creates more layering than a standard rose or peony — the petals of the tuberous begonia overlap and wrap in ways that create depth at close range and read as full and present from a distance. In blush pink, the layered begonia form holds the France Collection's lightest warm color across a complex surface structure, creating variation between the petal faces and the overlapping shadows that a simpler form would not generate. The Chrysler Museum of Art carries it. French Vogue ran it.

The Chrysler Museum of Art carries the France Collection. The Indianapolis Museum of Art stocks it. The High Museum in Atlanta carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Art museums across the South and Mid-Atlantic have independently decided this collection belongs in their gift shops. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.

A gift for the person who wants the France Collection's most layered form in its lightest color

The Blush Pink Begonia ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Chrysler Museum of Art carries it. The person who wants the France Collection's most layered form in blush pink receives the begonia from the same collection French Vogue and the Chrysler Museum both endorsed.
