Stylish vase made of Italian ceramics - Bruno Costenaro

Extraordinary creativity in ceramic design and an elegant approach to handcrafted finishing of every product define the essence of the Italian company Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro. Each item marked with the “B.C.” label 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 production of final products. This marks the beginning of a long-term process in creating this attractive ceramics.

Everything 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 exclusive ceramics from Italy, 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-run manufactories are thriving and creating 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 to around seventy collaborators over the years, including his children, who continue the business.

On March 26, 2000, Bruno Costenaro received the honorary title of master craftsman of the Vicenza province; as a tribute to his exemplary conduct both personally and professionally, he distinguished himself through 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 delivering high-quality artistic products.

How is this luxurious ceramics process carried out?

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 a temperature of 1020°C.

At this temperature, the glaze makes each item resistant and transparent. Finally, every 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 factory quality certificate is placed in a small box. The products are packed in cardboard boxes using a modern packing machine that creates soft cushions wrapping the delicate items.

This modern packaging method ensures that goods are never damaged or broken during transport. All cardboard boxes are then placed on Euro pallets (80 cm x 120 cm), making the items safer and eliminating issues with missing pieces. Upon receipt, the customer can attest to the quality of the 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.
