A bit of history

Both founders, Luciano and Marilena Tellatin, started their careers in the pottery industry at just sixteen and decided to establish their own company after years working as employees in two different antique factories. In their garage, then in a shed, in 1982, they created a story that continues to this day. Deep passion and dedication are the elements through which the founders lead the company, supported by young entrepreneurship—son Alberto. He joined the family business 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.

With over 30 years of experience, an elegant collection, harmonious forms, respect for craftsmanship—primarily traditional and ancient techniques—and an ongoing investment in the artisanal heritage of Nove antiques, these are the qualities that make Ceramiche ML unique, dynamic, and respectful of ancient pottery traditions, yet enthusiastic about the future.

The city 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 16th 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 contributed to building the fame of the ceramics district, decorating homes’ furniture around the globe.

The history of this area tells of a long tradition rooted in the 17th century, and its fortune is due to several factors: the presence of underground plastic clay, "lottame" (a limestone rich in mineral silica), kaolin, and the use of the Brenta River for transporting finished products and wood for firing, as well as powering water mills used for mixing clay and grinding stones at the riverbed.

An additional factor fostering the emergence of an elegant 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 through tax incentives for those producing porcelain and improving majolica production, thus managing the birth of the ceramic district in Nove.

The production area of the district still focuses 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—characteristics that cannot be found elsewhere in Italy.
