Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower
French country decor at its most specific includes forms that are not immediately recognisable — the botanical range of the south of France includes the old varieties, the heirloom cultivars, the flowers that botanical illustrators drew before hybridisation made everything look like a standard peony or rose. The Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the France Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a burnt yellow glaze, shaped in the Empire cabbage flower form — one of the more unusual botanical profiles in the collection, with a density and a particular character that rewards sustained attention.
The unusual form in a collection French Vogue found worth featuring
Chive continues to interpret the French Vogue feature as an endorsement. The Empire cabbage flower is the piece in the France Collection that generates the most questions — its form is distinctive and not immediately named by most viewers, which creates the particular pleasure of an object that is interesting before it is explained. The burnt yellow glaze on the Empire form reads as both warm and unexpected: yellow is not typically associated with the France Collection's more recognized blush and peach tones, and the Empire form is not typically associated with any collection in any studio. French Vogue ran it. The High Museum in Atlanta carries it. Chive considers both correct responses.
The High Museum in Atlanta carries the France Collection. The San Diego Museum of Art stocks it. The Santa Barbara Museum of Art carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Southern and Western US art museums have independently decided this collection belongs in their gift shops. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
A gift for someone who asks questions about objects on walls
The Burnt Yellow Empire Cabbage Flower ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The High Museum in Atlanta carries it.
