A modern, elegant vase from the Italian factory - Bruno Costenaro

Unparalleled creativity in ceramic design and a prestigious approach to handcrafted finishing of every piece define the Italian brand Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item labeled “B.C.” is meticulously produced following all 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 time-consuming process of creating this beautiful ceramics.

It all started when Bruno Costenaro, born in Bassano in 1940, began to learn the secrets of ceramics. At the age of thirteen, he worked in companies in Marostica and Cassola. By twenty, he decided to create luxury ceramics from Italy, initially with two partners in Vallonara, and later independently in Pianezze.

Over the years, 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-owned manufactories thrive and create true luxury. The strength of the manufactory was extraordinary, thanks to their level of creativity, innovation, interest in export, and the company's ability to overcome crises in this business sector, providing employment over the years to about seventy collaborators whom Costenaro taught trade skills: among them 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 area, always looking ahead, conducting research to satisfy their clients, and delivering high-quality ceramic products.

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.
