Description

Mum flower meaning runs deeper than most buyers expect — the chrysanthemum has represented longevity and imperial authority across East Asia for over a thousand years, appearing on seals, in temples, in poetry collections most flowers never come close to. Chive's Buttercup Yellow Chrysanthemum earned its name in the studio, not the archives, after someone compared the shade to butter left out on the counter too long. The chrysanthemum has survived dynasties; it can survive one employee's opinion about dairy. Ceramic keeps that same staying power literal, with no wilting, no water changes, and no petals dropping onto whatever surface it's mounted above. Group several across a hallway for a display that references centuries of symbolism without anyone needing to read the plaque.

Details:
4.5 x 2 in.
