Chocolate Mint Echo Lisianthus
Japandi wall art in the Japan Collection palette begins with colors that read as specific rather than generic — and chocolate mint is one of the most specific color names Chive has ever used. It is exactly what it sounds like: the deep brown-green that appears at the edge of a fresh mint leaf when the underside catches the light, the color of shadow on green, of green so deep it reads brown in certain conditions. The Chocolate Mint Echo Lisianthus is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Japan Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a chocolate mint glaze, shaped in the Echo lisianthus cultivar — the ruffled, layered form that has made the lisianthus the florist's alternative to the rose.
The green-brown of a collection built on the Japanese aesthetic palette
Chive designed the Japan Collection in 2020 around the specific palette of the Japanese aesthetic tradition — the deep greens, the earthy neutrals, the specific blues that appear in Japanese ceramics, lacquerware, and woodblock print pigments. Chocolate mint is the Japan Collection's green: not the bright green of the English Garden, not the warm avocado of other collection pieces, but the deep, shadowed green-brown that reads as connected to earth and shadow simultaneously. The Echo lisianthus form holds the chocolate mint glaze in its ruffled layers with variation that a smooth form could not provide. The Art Institute of Chicago carries the Japan Collection.
The Art Institute of Chicago carries the Japan Collection. The Chrysler Museum of Art stocks it. The Ansel Adams Gallery carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Art institutions from Chicago to Norfolk to California have independently decided this collection belongs in their gift shops. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.

The Chocolate Mint Echo Lisianthus ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Art Institute of Chicago carries it. The dark neutral interior receives the Japan Collection's deepest green botanical from the same collection an art institution chose.
