Ceramic Flower Dahlia Green 11

£14.30

I never thought I'd find myself waxing poetic about a ceramic flower, but here I am, positively giddy over a piece of wall art that's about as alive as my Aunt after her third martini. This teal monstrosity, courtesy of Chive's decade-long obsession with fake flora, arrived in a box so pretty it made me question my life choices. Why don't I live in a box this fabulous? As I hefted the flower out, I half-expected a tiny ceramic gardener to pop out and yell, "Surprise! You've been punk'd by photosynthesis!" But no, it was just me, standing there with a giant teal blossom that looked like it had escaped from Alice's Wonderland after a particularly wild tea party. The thing about this flower is that it's got a keyhole in the back, as if it's some sort of floral escape artist ready to hang itself at a moment's notice. I imagined it swinging from my living room wall, a constant reminder that I'd chosen to decorate my space with the botanical equivalent of a trust fund baby – pretty to look at, but ultimately useless. Yet, as I stood there, contemplating where this cerulean creation would best clash with my decor, I couldn't help but smile. It was ridiculous, yes, but in the most delightful way possible. And isn't that what we all need sometimes? A little bit of absurd beauty to brighten up our walls and our lives?

Looks Great on Tables

Originally destined for tabletops, fate intervened when two domestic goddesses - Oprah and Martha themselves - declared these babies belonged on walls. Who could argue with that kind of decorating royalty?

Pretty Boxes

Each delicate ceramic blossom nestles in a box worthy of its artistry, wrapped with the kind of care that makes gift-givers beam with pride. Making others look thoughtful comes naturally around here.

Can be Used on a Wall

One discovers the most elegant of solutions: a humble keyhole adorns the reverse, yearning for nothing more than a single screw. Into drywall it slides, defying both gravity and common sense. Voilà - sweet victory.

Pretty Flowers in Pretty Boxes

After eleven years of toiling, arranging, and obsessing over more than a hundred varieties of flowers, one learns that the postal service harbors a peculiar vendetta against beauty. Like a jealous god waiting to smite anything delicate or refined. But victory comes in the form of sturdy, elegant boxes - the kind that make a recipient feel like royalty, while secretly being fortress-strong enough to survive even the most spiteful mail handler's wrath.

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.
