Ceramic elegant tray in baroque style - Bruno Costenaro

Unparalleled creativity in ceramic design and a luxurious approach to hand-finished every single product exemplify the ethos of the Italian company Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item bearing the “B.C.” label 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 production of the finished products. This marks the beginning of a time-consuming process in 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 exclusive ceramics from Italy, initially with two partners in Vallonara, and later independently in Pianezze.

As demand for his products grew, the company moved to Molvena. Initially, small-scale 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-run manufactories thrive and create true luxury. The strength of the workshop was extraordinary, thanks to their level of creativity, innovation, export interest, and the company's ability to overcome crises in this business sector, providing employment over the years to about seventy collaborators, including 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.

What does the process of creating this stylish ceramics look like?

Each piece of ceramic from the mold is then hand-finished. It is glazed using the “a bagno” (dipping) method, 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.

At this temperature, the glaze makes each item resistant and transparent. Finally, each element is entirely hand-finished by skilled Italian decorators, achieving refined details in gold and platinum. Fired at 600-700°C, the final product is delicate in craftsmanship and carefully finished in every detail. After polishing, each piece is marked, and a factory quality certificate is placed in a small box. The products are packed into cardboard boxes using a modern packing machine that creates soft pillows wrapping the delicate items.

Thanks to this modern packaging method, there are never issues with damaged goods or broken items. All cardboard boxes are then placed on Euro pallets (measuring 80 cm x 120 cm), ensuring safer transport and preventing missing items. Upon receipt, customers can attest to the quality of the product, having purchased an item from Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro.

Today, the company has expanded to include: gifts, complete series consisting of centerpieces, baskets, vases, picture frames, ashtrays, plates, lamps, columns, cachepots, mirrors, panels, candlesticks, clocks, tables, and swans.
