Etsy is such a haven for handmade, unique pieces… but the best finds can sometimes be a little tricky to discover.
While many of us know Etsy as a place to buy jewellery and cards, did you know you can also find all sorts of homewares, including stunning ceramic pieces, by artists all over the world?!
There’s nothing quite as special as a ceramic vessel that’s been made by hand. It’s a piece you can treasure forever or would make a beautiful gift. Here are 5 fabulous ceramic artists and styles we’re loving from Etsy.

Lillypilly Pottery
Joanne Maggs is a Melbourne potter and ceramicist based at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges and she creates works for some of the top design firms in Melbourne.
From fabulous ceramic keep cups (ie reusable coffee cups with rubber lids) to planters and hand thrown bowls, we love how her pieces combine glazed and raw finishes — sometimes with hints of gold too.
Her online store is one to check out, especially if you’re looking for gender neutral or masculine pieces.

Mona-Lisa Pottery
When we first discovered Mona-Lisa’s work several years ago, she was creating boldly glazed bowls and vases (pictured below) and since then her style has evolved so much, you wouldn’t guess it’s the same artist!
Her latest works have the appearance of paintings, a completely matte finish that plays with line and colour.
Her shop is favourited by thousands and she’s made hundreds of sales since starting her Etsy shop, perhaps you’ll be her next customer!
