Ivory Rose

Ivory rose meaning tends toward reverence and quiet elegance, and this piece delivers exactly that without a hint of extra drama. Ivory Rose is, by most measures, the most classic shape in the entire Coastal line — the ceramic equivalent of understated formalwear, built to recede into a white wall rather than dominate it. It suits scandinavian wall art settings especially well, and works as a sympathy gift for loss, where restraint carries more weight than any grand gesture could. This rose has been shaped by hand at the studio for two decades running, and the finish still varies subtly from one firing to another. It stays exactly as it looks the day it arrives, with nothing to wilt and nothing to replace. Museum of Fine Arts keeps a small rotation of Chive ceramics on hand in its museum shop, this rose currently among them, resting near other quietly classic pieces in the same understated register.
