Handmade Ceramic Wall Flowers, Plant Pots & Seeds — Chive Studio
Chive Studio has been designing and handmaking ceramic wall flowers, plant pots, vases, and Shido Seeds in Toronto since 2004 — always original, often copied, never flat-packed. Every piece is designed in-house and made by hand, without molds. You won't find them in big box stores. You'll find them in the Getty Museum, SFMOMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, and more than 200 independent galleries, museum shops, and botanical gardens worldwide. We've exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show every year since 2013 and have twice been awarded the 5-star booth award — only two are given each year. Pretty flowers in pretty boxes, shipped to 40+ countries.
Shop by Collection
More than 200 original designs, and a curated range of things to fill the corners of your home so it looks like someone interesting lives there. That someone could be you.
Best Selling Ceramic Flowers
The ones that keep selling out. When a Classic Collection flower is gone, it's gone for good — we don't reissue, we design the next one. Choose accordingly.
What Is a Ceramic Wall Flower?
A ceramic wall flower is a handmade, kiln-fired ceramic sculpture that mounts to any wall with a single screw — or sits on a shelf when a wall isn't available. Colorfast, waterproof, and entirely indifferent to sunlight, humidity, and your travel schedule. These are flowers that don't die. They look the same in fifteen years as the day they arrived, which is more than most plants will tell you.
Start with one and the room looks intentional. Add another each year and the wall becomes a collection — the kind people ask about at dinner parties. It's wall art that didn't come flat-packed, and it grows.
Original designs since 2004
Chive Studio was founded in Toronto in 2004 by Todd Newgren — always original, often copied. More than twenty years of designing and handmaking ceramic wall flowers, plant pots, and vases without molds, without shortcuts, and apparently without any indication of slowing down. We also run a small plant shop on Queen Street in Toronto, which is either market research or an addiction, depending on who's asking. This is what happens when the people designing your plant pots are the same people rescuing the sad fern in the corner.
Our work is stocked in the Getty Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, SFMOMA, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the New York Botanical Garden, Denver Botanic Gardens, Longwood Gardens, Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Andy Warhol Museum, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and more than 200 independent art galleries, museum shops, and botanical institutions worldwide. We have exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show every year since 2013, twice receiving the 5-star booth award — only two are given each year. In 2026 we returned to the Philadelphia Flower Show after a thirteen-year absence, which Philadelphia has been gracious enough not to mention.
A gift they'll keep. Where people can see it.
Pretty flowers in pretty boxes. Here's the play: she was born in June, so she gets the June rose. Your mother's a March baby — daffodil. Your sister, October — marigold. Next year, add one. The year after, add another. Three walls, growing. Three people who think you're thoughtful. One decision, made once, running on autopilot for the rest of your natural life. You're welcome.

Letterpress vs. Digital Printing, Explained
Letterpress vs. digital printing comes down to one physical fact: letterpress presses a raised plate into paper, leaving an impression you can feel with your fingertip. Digital printing lays ink flat on top. Most card brands don't explain the difference. There's a reason for that.
Funny Card Company: The Fridge Origin Story
Chive is a funny card company that started on a broken studio fridge and a Sharpie, not a product brief. The first Post-it note stuck to that fridge — "plant lady is the new cat lady" — became the literal first card in a 98-card line. The fridge still doesn't work. The cards do.
