Buy handmade ceramics María Monasterio

We are a small artisanal ceramics workshop based in Málaga. At María Monasterio Ceramic Studio, we specialize in crafting tableware and decorative pieces. Depending on the design, we use a variety of techniques, including the potter’s wheel, hand modeling, slab building, or molds.

Here, you can shop for ceramics online quickly and effortlessly. Our work blends traditional pottery methods with modern, artistic designs, ensuring that the everyday objects you use are not only functional but also visually stunning.

Our designs are deeply inspired by nature, reflected in shapes, textures, and colors that evoke its beauty.

Additionally, we offer tools for ceramists, designed based on our hands-on experience and addressing gaps we’ve noticed in the market. Our aim is to create high-quality, practical tools that simplify and enhance the work done in the studio.

    Accidental

    1.160,00 € IVA incluido
    This piece is special. It is balanced, with its open shape and small base, the crack that reveals the thinness of the wall and the subtle gold finish on the edge. It is a piece with presence that conveys lightness and elegance. The crack is the result of a fortuitous accident. When I was putting it in the kiln, I knocked it slightly, causing an almost invisible crack, but I knew it would get bigger during firing, and so it did. The result could not have been better; it is impossible to imagine the piece without it. Accidents and mistakes can lead to beautiful, unexpected results. Features Mixed media: roll, gilding 21x25cm, recycled ceramic 1125º, gold leaf (23.75kt)

  • Broken dinner plate

    75,00 € IVA incluido
    The ‘broken plate’ has an irregular edge as if it had been broken, hence its name. It resembles a mountain range. It is a piece with presence and duality due to the contrast between the interior and exterior finishes. It has a glossy cream interior finish and a dark matt grey exterior. A modern and unique piece with beautiful green, grey and ochre spots on the edge due to variations in the thickness of the glaze. It is ideal for everyday use or for more special occasions. It is made on a potter's wheel in stoneware fired at 1260º. It is dishwasher and microwave safe and food safe. Because they are handmade, they are unique pieces, so they may vary from one piece to another. Measurements: 25,5 x 2 cm

  • Flowing Through Conversations

    450,00 € IVA incluido
    This bowl is crafted using the pinch-pot ceramic technique. It begins as a small ball of clay that opens and expands under the gentle pressure of the fingers, working from the inside out and allowing the form to grow organically. I made it during a visit at the studio: as we talked, I let my hands move freely, shaped by the calm rhythm of the conversation. That is how its name, Flowing Through Conversations, emerged. The rim, marked by cracks and openings of different sizes, creates a landscape reminiscent of natural erosion. After the first firing, I spent time observing the piece until I saw where the gold leaf should be applied, highlighting its irregularities and giving it a renewed sense of value. Features Mixed media: pinching, acrylic, gilding 17x6cm, recycled ceramics 1125º, acrylic, gold leaf (23.75kt)

  • Lunares artistic ceramic vase

    Journey to Paris

    385,00 € IVA incluido
    This piece was one of the first I created for this project. I’ve always been fond of polka dots, so I chose to decorate it with them as a playful, spontaneous gesture. I took it with me to the Maison et Objet fair in Paris to present it for the first time, and it was during that trip that the piece was slightly damaged: a small crack appeared. I decided to repair it with gold leaf, the most natural choice within the philosophy of Renacidas, where every wound is acknowledged, transformed, and embraced as an essential part of the piece. Features Mixed media: pinching, coils, gilding 17x15cm, recycled ceramics 1125º, gold leaf (copper)

  • On purpose

    1.680,00 € IVA incluido
    When I started this sculpture, I had a pretty clear idea of the shape I wanted, and luckily, the recycled material had a good consistency, which allowed me to build it exactly as I wanted. I made it together with the piece ‘Accidental’ (which was accidentally broken during its creation), which is why I named it ‘On Purpose’. Its simple, elongated shape with a solid gold finish makes it an elegant and solid piece.

  • Treasure II

    375,00 € IVA incluido
    I love creating these small trays, each one unique, imagined as tiny containers for personal treasures. I often place a dried flower in them—usually a thistle in earthy ochre and golden tones—that I gather from the countryside where I grew up. But each person can place whatever holds meaning for them: a small object, a keepsake, a token. The irregular, organic edge resembles a mountain range. Both this border and the small central element meant to hold that treasure are decorated with gold leaf, highlighting the beauty of what we choose to keep and cherish. Features Mixed media: slab built, acrylic, gilding 23x16x3cm, recycled ceramics 1125º, acrylic, gold leaf (23.75kt)
