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 rests on a delicate balance: an open form supported by a minimal base, a thin wall that allows light to pass through, and a subtly gold-finished rim. Its presence is light yet steady, defined as much by what it reveals as by what it allows to be seen. The crack running through the piece emerged from an unforeseen accident. A small impact before firing caused an almost imperceptible fissure, which opened further during the kiln process. Rather than being corrected, this wound became part of the piece and ultimately defined it. Today, the form cannot be conceived without this opening. The crack reveals the fineness of the wall and disrupts the initial balance, incorporating chance as part of the process. The piece embraces error not as failure, but as transformation, reminding us that the unexpected also shapes identity. Features Mixed media: roll, gilding 21x25cm, recycled ceramic 1125º, gold leaf (23.75kt)

  • Ceramic blade

A very practical tool, not only for cutting the clay but also for retouching and for scraping the glaze on the cutting edge and on the curved part at the back, depending on the shape of the piece.

  • Chawan II

    334,00  IVA incluido
    The chawan is a traditional Japanese bowl associated with the tea ceremony, an intimate object meant to be held between the hands. In this piece, that ancestral form is preserved, but its function is transformed. The exterior, rough and unpolished, retains the trace of recycled material and manual gesture. In contrast, the interior is entirely covered in gold, turning the space meant to contain into an inaccessible one. The bowl no longer serves: it offers itself to the gaze. This chawan thus becomes a container of time and calm—a silent object that invites contemplation and questions the value of use, of the everyday, and of what we consider essential. Features Mixed media: pinching, gilding 11,5x8cm, recycled ceramics 1125º, gold leaf (copper)
  • Clay scratching tool

    11,50  IVA incluido
    This is a handy little tool for scratching the joint surface between various parts of a piece of clay, for example, the joint between the handle and the cup. Instead of using a punch, this tool has 5 tips, making this operation easier and faster. The tips are made of stainless steel and the body is made in 3D printing with PLA. Dimensions: 7 x 0.7 cm
  • Closed head tungsten carbide ceramic trimming tool. Tool with tungsten head and hand-turned wooden handle with brass ferrule. The closed shape with curves makes it easier to use on straight surfaces and leaves no marks. The wider curved area allows you to remove more clay at once and then use the flat part to make the piece smooth. Tungsten is a very good abrasion resistant material as it holds its edge much longer than conventional steel tools. Tired of the trimming tools wearing out after a few days of use, we decided to look for another solution and came across this material. After using them for a few months, they are still sharp. We are very happy with the result. The handle is made of various types of wood, but mainly olive wood. It is comfortable and simple. Tungsten is a hard but fragile material, so avoid drops and bumps, as they can break. Dimensions: 18x2cm and 3.9cm long head

    Sold in sets of six in the same colour, they are designed to create a refined and cohesive table setting, whether for everyday use or special occasions. Their matte finish and simple shape highlight the beauty of the materials and the handcrafted character of each piece.

    Each piece is handmade in high-fired stoneware (1260 °C), a durable and resistant material. Dishwasher safe and suitable for food use.

  • Flowing Through Conversations

    450,00  IVA incluido
    Flowing Through Conversations is a bowl created using the pinch technique—an intimate process that begins with a small ball of clay and slowly expands through the gentle pressure of the fingers, from the inside outward. The form emerges organically, without a fully predetermined outcome. The piece was born during a visit to the studio. While we were talking, I allowed my hands to work freely, following the unhurried rhythm of the conversation. Shared time, words, and silences became inscribed in the material. The rim, marked by cracks and openings of varying sizes, draws a small landscape shaped by erosion and time. After the first firing, the piece was left to rest and be observed until the place where the gold leaf should appear revealed itself—highlighting its irregularities and holding the viewer’s gaze. Features Mixed media: pinching, acrylic, gilding 17x6cm, recycled ceramics 1125º, acrylic, gold leaf (23.75kt)
