Milk Teal Camellia
French country decor in milk teal is the version associated with old French faience pottery — the specific grey-blue-green of antique ceramic tiles and the glazed pottery of southern French markets. The Milk Teal Camellia is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the France Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a milk teal glaze, shaped in the full layered camellia form — the most romantic botanical form in the collection, in the color most associated with French ceramic tradition.
The ceramic tradition of a collection French Vogue chose to feature
Chive interprets the French Vogue feature as an endorsement. The Milk Teal Camellia is the France Collection piece that most directly references the history of French ceramic color — milk teal is the color that French potters have been producing in faience ware since the 17th century, the specific grey-blue-green that appears on old Provençal tile and antique Quimper pottery. Placing milk teal on the camellia form — which is itself one of the most cultivated flowers in the south of France — creates the France Collection piece that references two of the most specifically French aesthetic traditions simultaneously. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries it. French Vogue ran it.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries the France Collection. The New York Botanical Garden stocks it. Longwood Gardens carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Botanical gardens in the greater New York area and Pennsylvania have independently decided this collection belongs in their shops. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.

The Milk Teal Camellia ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries it.
