Etsy can be a fantastic place to find handmade sculptures and ceramics made by artists from around the world. But finding what you’re looking for isn’t always an easy task, considering how much stuff there is on the Etsy marketplace.

In this list, I’ll guide you through some of my personal favorites when it comes to sculptures on Etsy. I’m a sculptor myself so I spent many many hours looking through thousands of listings on Etsy.

CalacaCeramicArt by Nastia Calaca

Ceramic artist Nastia Calaca from The Netherlands is first on the list, with her whimsical unique ceramic creatures and animals.

Her sculptures feel like they have been taken from a book or a fable and put into real life. Detailed sculptures are crafted with a lot of care. I recommend taking a look at Nastia’s Etsy shop and exploring the wonderful ceramic world she created.

If you’re looking to get your hands on one of these wonderful animal figurines you have to be fast as they sell out fast. There’s new releases every month, so your best bet is to follow Ramalama on Instagram.
