Ivory European Water Lily

Description
Lily meaning, across almost every tradition that has arrived at one, converges on the same qualities: purity, stillness, and a fundamental indifference to whether you find them convenient. This version mounts flat on a wall and holds its ivory bloom year-round, which is the closest the European water lily has ever come to meeting anyone halfway. Each piece is built from the center outward at Chive Ceramics Studio — petals set individually so the depth reads as growth rather than manufacture. Ivory gives it a second register: not white, which would be declaration, but the color of a pond surface in overcast light when the lily has been there long enough to stop noticing the season, or caring about it. Artisans shape these pieces by hand, and the ivory glaze deepens at the center where the petals converge most tightly. Newfields in Indianapolis carries Chive ceramic wall art in its museum shop.

Endless Combinations
One might imagine the English Garden ceramic flower collection emerged from some divine intervention, each piece destined to complement another like arranged marriages in a Jane Austen novel. The designers, those smug bastards, eliminated all possibility of aesthetic disaster. What generous gods, taking away the burden of poor taste. But now comes the true hell: drowning in an ocean of endless perfection, where every choice leads to another equally magnificent possibility. Standing there, paralyzed by beauty, cursing those clever devils who removed all traces of ugliness, leaving nothing but an endless maze of flawless combinations.
How to Hang
One discovers these flowers, each bearing a secret: a tiny keyhole nestled in the back, waiting for its destiny. The ritual feels almost predetermined - reaching into that dusty jar of orphaned screws, the ones squirreled away over countless home projects. Those odd bits of metal, collected like precious coins, finally finding their purpose. A quick twist of the drill, and there hangs beauty, supported by hardware whose previous life remains a mystery.
