Brand History

Both founders, Luciano and Marilena Tellatin, started their careers in pottery when they were just sixteen and decided to establish their own company after years working as employees in two different antique factories. In a garage at their home, 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—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.

Over 30 years of experience, elegant collections, harmonious forms, respect for craftsmanship—primarily traditional and ancient techniques—and ultimately, endless investment in the artisanal heritage of Nove’s antique forms: these are the qualities that make Ceramiche ML unique, dynamic, respectful of ancient pottery traditions, yet enthusiastically looking toward the future.

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 has contributed to building the fame of the ceramics district, decorating furniture in homes around the world.

The history of this area tells of a long tradition rooted in the 17th century, thanks to factors such as underground clay deposits, “lottame” (a limestone rich in mineral silica), kaolin, and the use of the Brenta River for transporting finished products and wood for kilns, as well as powering water mills used for mixing clay and grinding stones at the riverbed.

An additional 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. Consequently, in 1728, the Venetian Senate decided to increase domestic production by offering tax incentives to those producing porcelain and improving majolica production, thus managing 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—qualities that cannot be found elsewhere in Italy.
