Navy Blue Chalksticks Succulent
Japandi wall art in the Japan Collection includes the Chalksticks succulent because the Senecio mandraliscae — the Blue Chalksticks — is one of the succulents most associated with the Japanese container garden tradition and most visually distinctive in its form: narrow, upward-pointing, glaucous blue-green leaves that grow in a tight rosette but reach upward rather than spreading outward. The Navy Blue Chalksticks Succulent is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Japan Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a navy blue glaze, shaped in the Chalksticks form — those narrow upward-pointing leaves translated from their natural horizontal growth into a wall-mounted ceramic object that reads as both succulent and abstract.
The upward-reaching form of a collection built on precise natural observation
Chive has been making ceramic succulents since the Classic Collection, and the Navy Blue Chalksticks is the most architecturally distinctive of the Japan Collection succulents — the narrow upward-pointing form creates a presence on a wall that the rounded Ghost succulent rosette does not. In navy blue, the Chalksticks form reads as the Japan Collection at its most confrontational: the deep indigo color on the most directional succulent form. The Royal Ontario Museum carries the Japan Collection. It is, they have noted, one of their most frequently asked-about pieces.
The Royal Ontario Museum carries the Japan Collection. The Art Gallery of Ontario stocks it. The Toronto International Film Festival carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Toronto cultural institutions have been carrying this piece and fielding questions about it since the Japan Collection launched. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
A gift for someone who specifically wants the Japan Collection's most unusual form
The Navy Blue Chalksticks Succulent ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Royal Ontario Museum carries it. The person who specifically wants the most unusual form in the Japan Collection receives the navy Chalksticks from the same collection the ROM chose to stock.
