Elite ceramic candlestick in baroque style - Bruno Costenaro

Fascinating creativity in ceramic design and a luxurious approach to handcrafted finishing of every piece are the hallmarks 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 the preferences 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 marks the beginning of a long process of creating this attractive ceramics.

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

As demand for his products grew, the company moved to Molvena. Initially, a 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 workshops are thriving and creating true luxury. The strength of the workshop was extraordinary, thanks to their 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 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; 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 area, always looking ahead, conducting research to satisfy its clients, and delivering high-quality artistic products.

How is this exclusive ceramic created?

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 durable and transparent. Finally, every 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 meticulously finished in every detail. After polishing, each item 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 cushions to wrap delicate items.

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