We’ve seen several ceramic artists find viral fame with their magical mugs, plats, and bowls, but Maceteo decided to take things in a different direction. This Mexican pottery brand became a true social media sensation thanks to its adorable planters inspired by flora and fauna.
Maceteo attracted over 40,000 Instagram followers since launching their page on this social media platform, and they’re showing no signs of stopping. They specialize in selling 100% handmade collectible ceramic pots that pay homage to Mother Nature in the most adorable way possible.
Animals are the major source of inspiration for this talented artist, and most of their tiny planters are shaped like different animals. Cats, dogs, koalas, and elephants served as Maceteo’s source of inspiration, but we’ve also seen this artist pay homage to several extinct species with their signature dinosaur planters with outstretched necks, that make it seem like the dinos are eating the plants they’re carrying.
Maceteo’s planters usually come in small sizes and that’s not a coincidence – they’re made with succulents in mind and can’t fit bigger plants. In addition to using the power of social media to share their work with the world, Maceteo occasionally hosts workshops, helping other pottery lovers master the basic techniques of modeling and decorating clay.
