Ceramic swans with gold decorations - Bruno Costenaro

Unparalleled creativity in ceramic design and a prestigious approach to the handcrafted finishing of every piece define the essence of the Italian brand Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item bearing the “B.C.” label is meticulously produced following all the 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 that of his clients, as well as current market trends. After the first model is produced, molds are made for the final products. This marks the beginning of a long-term process in creating this exquisite ceramics.

Everything 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 captivating Italian ceramics, initially with two partners in Vallonara, and later independently in Pianezze.

Over the years, demand for his products grew, and the brand moved to Molvena. Initially, a small-scale production took place in the basement of his new residence, which after many setbacks, led to the construction of a workshop adjacent to his home, where he still works today. This demonstrates that family-run manufactories are thriving and creating true luxury. The strength of the workshop was extraordinary, thanks to its level of creativity, innovation, export interest, and the company's ability to overcome sector crises, providing employment to around seventy collaborators over the years, 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, marked 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 its clients, and delivering high-quality artistic products.

How is this stylish ceramic created?

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 durable and transparent. Finally, every element is entirely hand-finished, allowing Italian decorators to achieve refined details in gold and platinum. Fired at 600-700°C, the final product is delicate in craftsmanship and meticulously 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 to cushion delicate items.

This modern packing method ensures that goods are never damaged or broken during transit. All cardboard boxes are then placed on Euro pallets (80 cm width x 120 cm depth), making the goods safer and preventing missing items. Upon receipt, the customer can attest to the quality of the product, having purchased an item from Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro.

Today, the brand 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.
