Designer photo frame from the Italian factory - Bruno Costenaro

Fascinating creativity in ceramic design and a luxurious approach to the handcrafted finishing of every single product is the hallmark of the Italian company Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item labeled "B.C." is meticulously produced following all the necessary steps to achieve a perfect product, shaped and finished to high quality. Every piece is modeled according to instructions personally dictated by Bruno Costenaro, reflecting his taste and the taste of his clients, as well as market trends. After the first model is produced, molds are made for the production of final products. This begins the long process of creating this attractive ceramics. 

It all started when Bruno Costenaro, born in Bassano in 1940, began to learn the secrets of ceramics. He was thirteen at the time and worked in companies in Marostica and Cassola. At the age of twenty, he decided to create luxury ceramics from Italy, first with two partners in the town of Vallonara, and then independently in the town of Pianezze. 

Over the years, demand for his products grew, and the brand moved to Molvena. Initially, small-scale production took place in the basement of his new residence, and later, after many setbacks, he built a workshop adjacent to his home, where he still works today. This shows that family-run manufactories are thriving and creating true luxury. The strength of the manufactory was remarkable, thanks to the level of creativity, innovation, their interest in exporting, and the company's ability to overcome crises in this business sector, providing employment over the years to about seventy collaborators, whom Costenaro taught the trade: among them his children, who continue the business. 

On March 26, 2000, Bruno Costenaro received the honorary title of master craftsman of the province of Vicenza; in tribute to his exemplary conduct both personally and professionally, distinguished by his commitment to work and generosity in passing on techniques and values to future generations. To this day, the Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro brand has had the advantage of being one of the most prestigious ceramic factories in the area, always looking to the future, conducting research to satisfy its customers, providing them with high-quality artistic products. 

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

Each piece of ceramics from the mold is then hand-finished. Lacquered using the "a bagno" (dipping) method, according to the colors chosen by the client (for example: white, black, ruby red, cobalt blue, emerald green), and then fired at a temperature of 1020. 

At this temperature, the lacquer makes each item resistant and transparent. Finally, each piece is entirely hand-finished, thanks to the skills of Italian decorators who achieve refined details in gold and platinum. Fired at a temperature of 600 \ 700 degrees, a final product is obtained, delicate in craftsmanship and carefully finished in every detail. After polishing, each piece is marked, and then a quality certificate from the factory is placed in a small package. Products are packed in cardboard boxes using a modern packing machine that creates soft cushions wrapping the delicate items. 

Thanks to this modern packaging method, there is never a problem with damaged goods or destroyed items. However, all cardboard boxes are included in a euro pallet (width 80 cm x depth 120 cm), making the goods safer and eliminating the issue of missing items. Upon the product's arrival, the client can attest to the quality of the received product, having purchased an item from Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. 

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