Hi pretty people! Let’s talk small businesses and in particular, ceramic shops.
Having a dad who owns a small business, I have such a love and appreciation for them. If you can afford to spend an extra $15-20 on something that you would otherwise buy from a larger company, knowing that it will directly benefit someone trying to make a living from their own business, it is way worth it. Bottom line: I love my Amazon finds but I also love to support small businesses just as much. And you can too!
Here are some amazing ceramic shops on Etsy…
MINIMAL + FUNCTIONAL
MuddyHeart focuses on ceramic stables for your home, anything from candles to mugs to ornaments. My favorites are her Star and Stripe mugs, and her Abstract Portrait Ring Cone. Just so dang cute.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
This next shop, MoonshineDesignShop is the definition of quality over quantity. I mean, can you even with this geometric planter OR this matcha bowl?!
CHIC
If you’re looking for super unique kitchen items (plates, bowls, mugs), check out Aliceramicsupply. Some of the items I absolutely love from her shop are these simply perfect plates, and these chic matte mugs.
BLACK, WHITE, WOODEN (mostly)
Ok, I’m obsessed with Tiletiletesto. And I’m obsessed with her black, white, and wooden pieces. And I’m obsessed with these black and gold serving plates, white and wooden plate with a lemon tree design, and lastly these ADORABLE black tiny sauce bowls. Do yourself a favor, go check out this shop!!!
CONCRETE
EmilysRedesign… I LOVE. I mean, come on. Check out this incredible Concrete Jewelry Dish set and this Greek Style Concrete Succulent Pot.
FUNCTIONALITY
In love with a few pieces from HandsOnCeramics. This matchstick holder with strike on the side is so crafty and actually so useful. Her speckled hanging planters are also one of my favorites.
CERAMIC SHOP HEAVEN
Did someone say mugs? While we’re on the topic, check out monalisapottery’s shop for INCREDIBLY designed mugs, bowls, and so much more. My currently pinned items are these cream and pink mugs, this unique serving bowl, and this serving tray.
COOLEST VIBE
EleniPalCeramics has a very moody vibe to her shop, which I absolutely die for. Check out these SUPER cool cookie jars, minimalistic black and white mugs, gray coasters, and this black vase that just makes me drool.
BEAUTIFUL IN ITS SIMPLICITY
Ok. Hi, MaevoStudio. Let’s all drool (how many times have I said that? maybe just once and if so that’s not enough) over this thin peach vase, and these minimalistic mugs.
If you’ve made it this far and you’re looking to go in a different direction with your shopping, or you need a drink because there are too many options and making a drink sounds better and easier (lol), check out my post on The Best Glassware For Your At Home Bar.
Also! Let me know if you have a favorite small business, I’d love to know!
