Ceramic Flower - Flower Purple 12

A gift for a professor should feel a little bit like a private joke about categorization, which makes the Ceramic Flower Flower Purple 12 an oddly fitting choice. It is, as far as anyone on staff can tell, nearly identical to another purple flower already in the catalog, made in a separate batch for reasons that have been lost to time along with whoever was in charge of labeling that particular week. The studio has simply chosen not to investigate further. Some mysteries are better left exactly where they are, filed quietly in a spreadsheet nobody opens anymore. Shaped by hand at Chive Ceramics Studio, it holds its purple without fading or needing any water, care, or explanation beyond what's already on the wall. It asks for nothing further from whoever owns it. Monterey Bay Aquarium has carried this collection in its gift shop for years, among other pieces picked for holding their color under any light.
