Prestigious living room column with crystals made of ceramic - Bruno Costenaro

Stylish Italian decorative and functional accessories for living rooms - Made in Italy

Unquestionable creativity in ceramic design and an elite approach to handcrafted finishing of every single product are the hallmarks of the Italian brand Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item labeled “B.C.” is meticulously produced following all 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 final production of the items. This begins a time-consuming process of creating this beautiful ceramic ware.

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

Over the years, demand for his products grew, and the company 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-run manufactories thrive and create true luxury. The strength of the workshop was extraordinary, thanks to its level of creativity, innovation, interest in export, and the company’s ability to overcome crises in this business sector, providing employment over the years to about seventy collaborators, whom Costenaro trained in commerce—including his children, who continue the business.

On March 26, 2000, Bruno Costenaro was awarded 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 area, always looking ahead, conducting research to satisfy its clients, and delivering high-quality ceramic products.

What does the process of creating this stylish ceramic ware look like?

Each piece of ceramic from the mold is then hand-finished. It is glazed using the “a bagno” (dipping) method, according to the colors chosen by the customer (for example: white, black, ruby red, cobalt blue, emerald green), and then fired at 1020°C. At this temperature, the glaze makes each item durable and transparent. Finally, each element is entirely hand-finished, thanks to the skills of Italian decorators, who achieve refined details in gold and platinum. Fired at 600-700°C, the final product is delicate in craftsmanship and meticulously finished in every detail. After polishing, each piece is marked, and a factory quality certificate is placed in a small package. The products are packed into cardboard boxes using a modern packing machine that creates soft cushions wrapping the delicate items.

Thanks to this modern packing method, there are never issues with damaged goods or broken items. All cardboard boxes are then placed on Euro pallets (80 cm x 120 cm), ensuring safer transport and eliminating missing items. Upon receipt, the customer can attest to the quality of the product, having purchased an item from Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro.
Today, the company 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.
