Elegant five-armed candlestick with an angel made of ceramics - baroque style - Bruno Costenaro

Incredible creativity in ceramic design and a stylish approach to handcrafted finishing of every product is the hallmark of the Italian company Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item bearing the “B.C.” label is meticulously produced following all the necessary steps to achieve an ideal, high-quality finished product. 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 products. This marks the beginning of a long process of creating this wonderful 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 luxury ceramics from Italy, initially with two partners in Vallonara, and later independently in Pianezze.

Over the years, the demand for his products grew, and the company moved to Molvena. Initially, a small-scale production took place in the basement of his new residence, which, after many setbacks, he expanded into a workshop adjacent to his home, where he still works today. This demonstrates that family-owned workshops thrive and create 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 over the years to about seventy collaborators whom Costenaro trained in trade—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 region, always looking ahead, conducting research to satisfy its clients and deliver high-quality ceramic products.

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

Every piece of ceramic from the mold is then hand-finished. Glazed using the “a bagno” method (dipping), 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, allowing Italian decorators to achieve 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 quality certificate from the factory is placed in a small package. The products are packed in cardboard boxes using a modern packing machine that creates soft pillows to cushion 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 arrival, the customer can attest to the quality of the received product, having purchased an item from Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro.

Today, the workshop 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.
