English Garden Collection — Peony Ceramic Wall Art

I've never been one to get excited about wall decor, but there it was – this absurdly perfect ceramic camellia, the size of a plate and glazed in a color that made me think of those fancy caramel squares my sister hoards in her purse. You know the ones, wrapped in wax paper, that stick to your teeth for days. The artist, whoever they were, must have had a moment of divine inspiration when they stuck that keyhole on the back. It's like they knew exactly how many times I've stood in my apartment, holding up various objects to the wall with one hand while making futile attempts to mark nail positions with the other. 

Usually this ends with me putting another small hole in the drywall that I'll later cover with a strategically placed postcard from my mother. But this flower – this gloriously modern interior design take on nature – solved that whole dilemma. It's the kind of piece that makes visitors stop mid-sentence and say, "Oh, what's that?" which is exactly what you want from wall art. Not the polite nods you get from showing people your collection of vintage postcards or that abstract painting your ex swore was going to be worth something someday.

One Screw. No Maintenance. Never Wilts.

The Perfect Gift for Flower Lovers

The Caramel Charm Peony is part of Chive's English Garden collection — handmade ceramic wall flowers designed in the English cottage garden tradition by a studio that has exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for 13 consecutive years and not once become smug about it. Each piece mounts with a single keyhole screw, requires no water, no maintenance, and no apology for the fact that it will look exactly like this in twenty years. As featured on Oprah's O List. Ships to 40+ countries. Available on chive.com, chive.ca, and chiveukretail.com.
