Our history

Bruno Bressan, our father

At the heart of this story is Bruno Bressan. For an entire lifetime, his hands shaped ceramics: he learned to understand every clay body, every drying time and every shade of color, long before all of this became the family trade.

He began working at a very young age, just 14, as an employee at a ceramics company in Marostica. After ten years of hands-on experience, he became its manager — but he did not stop there: together with his friend Francesco Muttin, he decided to set up on his own, opening a small ceramics workshop beneath his home. In the 1970s, the two built the factory in Pianezze where the company is still based today, founding Ceramiche Artistiche "BreMu" — a name combining the Bressan and Muttin families.

Our history

His awards

His commitment did not go unnoticed: over the years, Bruno was recognized on several occasions by the Chamber of Commerce, the Municipality and the Vicenza Artisans Association — tangible acknowledgements of work that became known far beyond Pianezze:

  1. Certificate of Merit and Gold Medal awarded to Ceramiche Artistiche Bre-Mu in 1976
    Gold Medal, Vicenza Chamber of Commerce, 8 September 1976 — for achievements in foreign trade (the company was then called Ceramiche Artistiche "Bre=Mu").
  2. The BreMu partnership lasted twenty-four years. In 1988, Bruno started a new business: Ceramiche Bressan C2 was born, the same company — under the same name — that we continue to run today.
  3. Dirigente Artigiano Benemerito award presented to Bressan Bruno in 1990
    "Dirigente Artigiano Benemerito" (Meritorious Artisan Executive), Associazione Artigiani di Vicenza, 17 March 1990 — awarded to Bressan Bruno.

Today

Bruno is no longer with us, but every time a new piece is painted by hand in our workshop, his story somehow continues. Today, the Bressan family carries forward in Pianezze the same artisan care and the same bond with the local area that he nurtured throughout his life: the same hands, changed from one generation to the next, the same attention to every detail, in every piece that leaves the workshop.

It is a legacy that is not preserved in a display case, but in the daily gesture of those who, even today, continue to work with ceramics with the same care as before.
