Blush Pink Star Dahlia
Japandi wall art does not typically include blush pink — the Japandi palette tends toward cool neutrals, deep blues, and earthen greens. The Blush Pink Star Dahlia is the Japan Collection piece that challenges the assumption: a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Japan Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a blush pink glaze, shaped in the Star dahlia cultivar — the pointed-petal dahlia form that creates a radial star pattern rather than the rounded pompom of the Ball dahlia or the flat open form of the Dinner Plate.
The warm exception in a collection built on cool specificity
Chive designed the Japan Collection in 2020 with the Japanese aesthetic as the guiding palette — but the Japanese aesthetic is not exclusively cool. Japanese ceramics include warm pinks, the specific blush of cherry blossom (sakura), the warm pale pink that appears in Japanese porcelain and traditional textile dyeing. Blush pink in the Japan Collection is not the France Collection's blush — it is the Japan Collection's version of warm pink: the sakura-adjacent color that reads as connected to the Japanese aesthetic tradition rather than the French country one. The Star dahlia's pointed petals hold the blush pink in a form that reads as more precise and less romantic than the rounded peony or camellia forms it might otherwise be compared to. The Huntington Library carries the Japan Collection.
The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens carries the Japan Collection. The Denver Botanic Gardens stocks it. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Botanical institutions with Japanese garden collections have been making consistent purchasing decisions about this piece. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
A gift for the Japandi room that allows one warm pink exception
The Blush Pink Star Dahlia ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Huntington Library carries it. The Japandi room that allows one warm exception receives the Japan Collection's sakura-adjacent pink in the most pointed dahlia form Chive makes.
