Rose Grey
Classic Collection ceramic wall flowers include the grey rose because grey on the rose form does something unexpected: it makes the rose form read as the most architectural version of itself, the version that reveals the structure of the fully double petals without the color declaring a mood. The Grey Rose is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Classic Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a grey glaze, shaped in the English rose form at 6-inch scale — the small, fully double layered version that holds the grey in its concentric petal rings with the specific quality that grey has when it is neither warm nor cool but precisely in between.
The color that makes the form the point
Grey on a rose form removes the emotional content of the rose — the red romance, the pink femininity, the ivory elegance — and leaves only the structure. What the structure turns out to be, when the color stops carrying the message, is an extraordinarily precise layered botanical object. Briana made the grey rose in a Classic Collection run because the grey glaze existed and the rose form was available. The result is the Classic Collection piece that rose form enthusiasts describe as the version that makes them understand the rose form rather than simply recognize it. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries the Classic Collection.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries the Classic 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 with rose collections have independently evaluated and chosen this grey ceramic interpretation. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
A gift for the person who wants the rose form without the rose color
The Grey Rose ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden carries it. The person who wanted a ceramic rose form but specifically not in any expected rose color receives the Classic Collection's most structurally honest version.
