A bit of history

Both founders, Luciano and Marilena Tellatin, started their careers in pottery when they were just sixteen and decided to establish their own company after years working as employees in two different antique factories. In a garage at their home, and later in a shed, in 1982, the founders began a story that continues to this day. Deep passion and dedication are the elements that drive the brand, supported by young entrepreneurship—namely their son Alberto. He joined the company in 2000 after earning a teaching degree from the Art Institute of Nove: representing the future of the brand, which still has much to offer clients and partners.

With over 30 years of experience, elegant collections, harmonious forms, respect for craftsmanship—primarily traditional and ancient techniques—and endless investment in the artisanal heritage of Nove's antique forms, these are the qualities that make Ceramiche ML unique, dynamic, and respectful of ancient pottery traditions, yet enthusiastic about the future.

The city where everything takes place is located in the province of Vicenza. This place has been recognized as one of the best examples of Italian ceramic tradition since the sixteenth century: a land enriched with artisanal knowledge, artists, sculptors, and ancient factories known worldwide. The Nove and Bassano regions are full of old workshops whose work contributed to building the fame of the ceramics district, decorating homes' furniture around the globe.

The history of this place tells of a long-standing tradition rooted in the 17th century, and its fortune is due to several factors: the presence of underground plastic clay, "lottame" (limestone rich in mineral silica), kaolin, and the use of the Brenta River for transporting finished products, wood for kilns, and powering water mills. These mills are used for mixing clay and grinding pebbles found at the riverbed.

An additional factor fostering the prestigious ceramic tradition in this region was the Venetian Senate decree. In fact, in the 17th century, the growing and increasingly widespread European demand for fine ceramics in China prompted Dutch ceramists to imitate these works, flooding the Venice market with their products. As a result, in 1728, the Venetian Senate decided to increase domestic production through tax reliefs for those producing porcelain and improving majolica production, thus fostering the birth of the ceramic district in Nove.

The production area of the district still focuses on the municipalities of Nove and Bassano, surrounded by a dense network of companies that have contributed to the region's worldwide reputation for excellence and uniqueness, unmatched in other parts of Italy.
