Blue Grey Gerbera Daisy

Gerbera daisy meaning centers on cheerfulness and innocent joy, which tracks, since the gerbera is the most outright cheerful flower in any room it has ever entered. Japan tends to appreciate that quality only in the right moderation, and Blue Grey happens to be the correct amount. The glaze takes the gerbera's relentless optimism and runs it through the color of a November morning in Kyoto, a shift that doesn't eliminate the cheer so much as give it somewhere to stand. What's left is a flower that's happy in a way that's clearly thought things through first. Shaped by hand at Chive Ceramics Studio, each petal layer is built up individually so the bloom holds its shape without looking stamped from a mold. It suits a wall that wants warmth without asking for attention. Brooklyn Botanic Garden has carried this collection in its own shop for years, company the gerbera accepts with its usual quiet cheer.
