Maiyan is creating colorful, detailed ceramics with influences from Morocco

Maiyan, named after founder and owner Maiyan Ben Yona, creates ceramics that stand out from other products. Bringing inspiration from her travels in Morocco, the Maiyan ceramics are a part of a greater theme of colorful products with detailed patterns. 



Maiyan discovered Moroccan ceramics when working at a guesthouse that used Moroccan utensils. Drawn to the art, Maiyan decided to travel to Morocco. Maiyan roamed the markets, looked at the ceramics, and studied how the locals made their crafts. This experience became the foundation for the brand Maiyan.



Vases were traditionally first used as decoration, but in ancient Egypt vases were used for storing flowers and other plants for the first time. Maiyan’s bottle shaped vase uses abstract ink lining over a subtle, warm yellow base, reminiscent of sunflowers. The yellow and black colors pair well with all kinds of flowers, especially the green Carnation and the yellow and black sunflower.

Even the slightest push to a candle can create huge mishaps, so having a sturdy base brings an ease of mind while relaxing at home. The Maiyan candle holders are bringing safety alongside an eye catching look to the warm light in your room. On top of being more safe for use, the arch design as well as the intricate patterns of the candle holders became points of interests for the customers. Maiyan’s candle holder comes in five variations of sizes with the monochrome black and white.

Small plates allow you to optimize the space on your dining table for more room for other dishes. The pistachio with white stars by Maiyan is a small plate ideal for appetizers and desserts such as calamari and mochi. Using ink lining the surface has a constellation of “white stars” which contrast with the pistachio colored background.

Maiyan’s time learning the art of ceramic in Morocco can be seen in the use of bright colors and intricate patterns for the six piece dinnerware set. Each product has its own handcrafted pattern, and despite each pattern being different, the repetition of the pattern all around the products make each part of the dinnerware set a part of a bigger theme.

The mini ball vase is hand decorated, with each aspect of the pattern being a little different from the next. The vase can be set on top of window sills, tables, and many other flat surfaces with its portability and small size. This vase can be used to store small flowers and plants, and pairs especially well with the white and petite Cerastium tomentosum, or the popular flower in Japan, the Camellia japonica.

The rectangular tray is suitable to carry candlesticks, salt and pepper shakers, small cylinder vases, the bathroom, and many other small objects. The Moroccan influences allow for the tray to pair well with all of the other products in the Maiyan such as the salt and pepper shakers, espresso shots, and mini ball vases. You can also pair to your liking by choosing from a wide variety of colors.

Salt and Pepper are the two primary seasonings present at dining tables all around the world. Shakers are used to dispense and tell the two apart clearly. Maiyan’s salt and pepper shakers come in a different shape than what is commonly seen. Flat and round, the shakers can be ordered in many different colored porcelains with varying designs and patterns. The moroccan style matches especially well when resting on top of the rectangular tray.

A shot of espresso is sure to wake you up with its bold and strong taste. On the contrary, these espresso cups are light and pleasant. One thing in common is that both the espresso and the Maiyan cups are a great way to start off the morning.

Unlike the bottle shaped vase, the cylinder vase has a large opening ideal for bigger leafs and flowers. The large leafed fiddle-leaf fig would be a great addition to the vase, with its leaves sprouting naturally from the cylinder.

The Small Cylindrical shaped planter is the bestselling Maiyan product for good reason. The large range of color and pattern combinations give an option for anyone. By putting soil into the planter with a smaller sized plant such as the spider plant the room it inhabits becomes more breathable and refreshing to live in.
