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 a garage, then 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 — their son Alberto. He joined the company in 2000 after earning a teaching degree from the Art Institute of Nove: he represents 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 rooted in ancient techniques, and an ongoing investment in the artisanal heritage of antique Nove forms: these qualities have made Ceramiche ML exceptionally unique, dynamic, respectful of ancient pottery traditions, yet enthusiastically looking toward the future.

The city where everything happens 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 manufactories whose work contributed to building the fame of the ceramics district, decorating furniture in homes around the world.

The history of this place tells of a very long tradition rooted in the 17th century, thanks to factors such as underground clay deposits, "lottame" (a limestone high in mineral silica), kaolin, and the use of the Brenta River for transporting finished products, wood for firing, and powering water mills. These mills are used for mixing clay and grinding pebbles found at the riverbed.

Another 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 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 manufacturing, thus fostering the birth of the ceramic district in Nove.

The production area of the district continues to focus 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 elsewhere in Italy.
