Hand crafted on the Med, inspired by the mountains.
I'm Maya, the artist behind Maya Carves.
Barcelona, Spain
I create my ceramic pieces with an artistic vision, rooted in tradition and inspired by nature. Maya Carves promotes handcrafted ceramics that blend function with art, celebrating the beauty of everyday objects through small-batch, sustainably made designs. Focused on one-of-a-kind items with a transparent production process and sustainable practices to oppose mass-produced ceramics, creating exclusivity and a sense of connection with the maker.

Discover both functional and decorative vessels created to elevate your everyday routines.
Each vessel is entirely hand made, using both old and new techniques that require time and dedication, to produce objects that represent the organic forms and imperfect lines found in nature.
All vessels are food and dish washer safe.
But to ensure the long life of your one of a kind vessel, I recommend washing it by hand and with care.
Regular use in the dishwasher may shorten its life.
Microwaves can cause damage to your ceramic pieces.
Keep in mind that strong coloured liquids or foods such as coffee and tea can stain the more light coloured vessels overtime.
Enjoy your ceramic pieces and make them part of your daily routines.
Don’t hesitate to contact me with questions about custom orders. Here you can find a curated selection of the vessels.
All the lunch plates + mugs can be made to order, so don’t hesitate to reach out to me with inquiries of a certain product is currently out of stock.
All the one of a kind vessels and objects are unique in their kind and making and sold according to availability of stock.
