Dahlia Orange
Classic Collection ceramic wall flowers include the Dahlia Orange because the Classic Collection is the range where forms and glazes are matched on the basis of what works rather than what a palette document specifies. The Dahlia Orange is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Classic Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in an orange glaze, shaped in the dahlia form — the full, many-petaled botanical structure that holds color across its radially arranged petals in a way that reveals the glaze's quality at 11-inch scale. This is the orange that Briana had when the dahlia form was available, and the result was neither a mistake nor a surprise.
The Bad News Bears logic of the Classic Collection
The Classic Collection is the collection of misfits — the Bad News Bears of the Chive range. It operates without the organizing principle of a themed palette. When orange glaze and dahlia form are both present, and the result of combining them produces something that earns its place on a wall, it goes into the Classic Collection in a small run that sells out. The Dahlia Orange is from such a run. The Chicago Botanic Garden carries the Classic Collection. Their botanical gardens maintain dahlia collections across the full color spectrum — the ceramic orange version earns its place in that context through the quality of the form rather than through palette compliance.
The Chicago Botanic Garden carries the Classic Collection. The Atlanta Botanical Garden stocks it. The Norfolk Botanical Garden carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
A gift for the person who wanted a ceramic dahlia and specifically wanted it in orange
The Dahlia Orange ships in a Chive gift box. It hangs with one screw in 90 seconds. The Chicago Botanic Garden carries it. The person who wanted a dahlia form in orange receives the Classic Collection's version of that combination.
