Concept of Ceramiche ML manufactory

Vehicles inspired by the Baroque era, rich ancient Greek temples, soup bowls, tables, panels, Art Deco-style figures, and Roman chariots: all these items are part of the extensive Ceramiche ML model, which is a fundamental distinguishing feature. This results from continuous investments in their artisanal and cultural heritage. They were created over fifty years ago by model makers who are no longer with us: the goal is to preserve items of priceless historical and artistic value. Because this heritage is a testament to traditional craftsmanship! Prestigious ceramics have always been highly popular among the most discerning consumers worldwide.

A bit of history

Both founders, Luciano and Marilena Tellatin, started their careers in the pottery industry at just sixteen years old and decided to establish their own company after years working as employees in two different antique factories. In their garage, then in a shed, in 1982, they 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, elegant collections, harmonious forms, respect for craftsmanship—primarily traditional and ancient work—and ultimately, endless investment in the artisanal heritage of Nove antiques: these are the qualities that make Ceramiche ML unique, dynamic, 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 16th 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 has contributed to building the fame of the ceramics district, decorating homes' furniture 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 ability to use the Brenta River for transporting finished products and wood for kilns, as well as for powering water mills used to mix clay and grind stones 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 led 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 relief 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 worldwide reputation for excellence and uniqueness, unmatched in other parts of Italy.
