Description

Lily meaning 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.
