Elegant small bowl of cream flowers - Bruno Costenaro

Incredible creativity in ceramic design and an elegant approach to hand-finishing every single piece is the hallmark 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 high 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 production of final products. This marks the beginning of a long process of creating this wonderful ceramic.

It all started when Bruno Costenaro, born in Bassano in 1940, began to learn the secrets of ceramics. At the age of thirteen, he was working in companies in Marostica and Cassola. By twenty, he decided to create exclusive 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, 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 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 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, standing out for his dedication to work and generosity in passing on techniques and values to future generations. To this day, the Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro workshop remains one of the most prestigious ceramic factories in the area, always looking to the future, conducting research to satisfy its clients, and delivering high-quality artistic products.

How is this elegant ceramic created?

Every piece of ceramic from the mold is then hand-finished. It is 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 durable and transparent. Finally, each piece 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 item is marked, and a factory quality certificate is placed in a small package. The items are packed into cardboard boxes using a modern packing machine that creates soft cushions to wrap the delicate articles.

Thanks to this modern packing method, there are never issues with damaged goods or broken items. However, all cardboard boxes are contained on Euro pallets (80 cm width x 120 cm depth), ensuring safer transportation 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 brand has expanded to include: gifts, complete series consisting of centerpieces, baskets, vases, picture frames, ashtrays, plates, lamps, columns, cachepots, mirrors, panels, candleholders, clocks, tables, and swans.
