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
  • Ceramic blade

    13,50  IVA incluido
    Tempered stainless steel blade for ceramics. Made in Spain by a master knife maker. 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. Although it is made of stainless steel, it is recommended to clean it after use, since clay and water in prolonged contact can end up oxidizing the steel. Dimensions: 16x1,3cm
  • Chawan

    415,00  IVA incluido
    The chawan is a traditional Japanese bowl used to prepare and drink tea—an essential element in the tea ceremony. I have always found these pieces profoundly beautiful: small, intimate objects made to be held gently in the hands. They are vessels of time, of stillness, and of the small treasures of everyday life. 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
  • Out of stock
    Decorative plate in white with black illustrations. The motif is a fantastic world that I call Dreamlike Ichthyology, which combines the marine world with the terrestrial world creating fantastic creatures and a universe of its own. You can see more about it in the Animalarium section of my website. The plates have different dimensions, are made of earthenware and painted by hand. They have been fired at 1050º. Because they are handmade, they are unique pieces, so there may be slight variations between them. Measurements: 32-40 cm. Diameter

  • 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)
