A beautiful plate from Italy in the baroque style - Bruno Costenaro

Unquestionable creativity in ceramic design and a prestigious approach to handcrafted finishing of every product are the hallmarks of the Italian brand Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item bearing the “B.C.” label is meticulously produced following all the necessary steps to achieve an ideal product, shaped and finished to the highest quality standards. Every element is modeled according to instructions personally dictated by Bruno Costenaro, reflecting his taste and the preferences of his clients, as well as current market trends. After the first model is produced, molds are made for the final products. This marks the beginning of a long process of creating this beautiful ceramics.

Everything started when Bruno Costenaro, born in Bassano in 1940, began to learn the secrets of ceramics. He was only thirteen years old at the time and worked in companies in Marostica and Cassola. By the age of twenty, he decided to create luxury ceramics from Italy, initially with two partners in Vallonara, and later independently in Pianezze.

Over the years, the demand for his products grew, and the company moved to Molvena. Initially, a small production took place in the basement of his new residence, but after many setbacks, he built a workshop adjacent to his home, where he still works today. This demonstrates that family-run manufactories are thriving and creating true luxury. The strength of the workshop was extraordinary, thanks to the level of creativity, innovation, export interest, and the company's ability to overcome crises in this business sector, providing employment to around seventy collaborators over the years, whom Costenaro trained in commerce—including his children, who continue the business.

On March 26, 2000, Bruno Costenaro received the honorary title of master craftsman of the Vicenza province; in recognition of his exemplary conduct both personally and professionally, distinguished by dedication to work and generosity in passing on techniques and values to future generations. To this day, Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro remains one of the most prestigious ceramic factories in the region, always looking ahead, conducting research to satisfy its clients, and delivering high-quality artistic products.

What does the process of creating this elegant ceramics look like?

Each piece of ceramic from the mold is then hand-finished. It is glazed using the “a bagno” method (dipping), according to the colors chosen by the customer (for example: white, black, ruby red, cobalt blue, emerald green), and then fired at a temperature of 1020°C.

At this temperature, the glaze makes each item durable and transparent. Finally, every element is entirely hand-finished, utilizing the skills of Italian decorators who achieve refined details in gold and platinum. Fired at 600–700°C, the final product is delicate in craftsmanship and meticulously finished in every detail. After polishing, each piece is marked, and a factory quality certificate is placed inside a small box. The products are packed into cardboard boxes using a modern packing machine that creates soft pillows to cushion delicate items.

This modern packing method ensures that there are never issues with damaged goods or broken elements. All cardboard boxes are then placed on Euro pallets (80 cm width x 120 cm depth), making the goods safer and eliminating problems with missing items. Upon receipt, the customer can attest to the quality of the product, having purchased an item from Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro.

Today, the company has expanded to include: gifts, complete series consisting of centerpieces, baskets, vases, picture frames, ashtrays, plates, lamps, columns, cachepots, mirrors, panels, candlesticks, clocks, tables, and swans.
