Chartreuse Primrose
Flower wall art has two problems: the version made of actual flowers dies, and the version printed on flat surfaces fades. The Chartreuse Primrose is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the English Garden Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a chartreuse glaze that addresses both problems simultaneously by being ceramic and specifically chartreuse rather than any of the safer colors that would have been easier to execute and less interesting to look at.
Cottagecore wall decor with the botanical credentials of a spring flower and the durability of fired earth
The primrose is the spring flower most associated with woodland gardens, cottage gardens, and the specific yellow-green range that announces winter is ending. Chartreuse is the ceramic version of that announcement — the yellow-green that reads as botanical and alive in a material that is neither. The primrose form, with its five petals arranged around a central eye, is one of the simpler but more charming shapes in the English Garden Collection. It always rains at Chelsea. The team has been handling this for 13 years. They discovered Pimm's there, which the English had already discovered but had not communicated clearly to people from Toronto. The Chartreuse Primrose was on the stand while this discovery was made. It has been part of the collection since.
SFMOMA carries the English Garden Collection. The Art Gallery of Ontario stocks it. The Denver Botanic Gardens carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Art museums and botanical institutions from San Francisco to Toronto have made consistent purchasing decisions about this collection. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
The February birth flower in the color it should have been all along
The primrose is the birth flower for February. The Chartreuse Primrose is the February birth flower gift for the person born in February who has strong opinions about yellow-green and would find a pink primrose either botanically accurate or disappointingly predictable. It ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. SFMOMA carries the collection. February has its own institutional endorsement now.
