A bit of history

Both founders, Luciano and Marilena Tellatin, started their careers in pottery at the age of 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 founders, 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 to clients and partners.

With over 30 years of experience, a luxury collection, harmonious forms, respect for craftsmanship—primarily artisanal and ancient work—and ultimately, endless investment in the ceramic heritage of antique Nove forms: these are the qualities that make Ceramiche ML an exceptionally unique, dynamic company that respects ancient pottery traditions but approaches the future with enthusiasm.

The town 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 companies whose work contributed to building the reputation of the ceramics district, decorating furniture for homes around the world.

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

Another factor fostering the development of a luxury ceramic tradition in this region was the decree of the Venetian Senate. In fact, in the 17th century, the growing and increasingly widespread 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 incentives for those who decided to produce porcelain and improved majolica production, thus managing 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 fame worldwide, characterized by excellence and uniqueness not found in other parts of Italy.
