Bertoncello Ceramiche D'Arte was established in the town of Schiavon in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy in 1956. Founded by Giovanni Bertoncello and Messrs. Lini and Pizzato, the firm was renamed soon after when Mr. Lini was replaced by Giovanni's brother, Felice Bertoncello. Giovanni Bertoncello was the creative force behind the company's early designs. By the early 1970s, his artistic skill and entrepreneurial spirit led to great successes, both in Italy and on the foreign market. The company is most famous for modern, sculptural, organic shapes that often feature rounded, recessed holes and integrated handles. All pieces are molded from white clay and many are finished with a signature mottled, brown-and-beige glaze known as 'Screziato' (speckled, dappled). Unfortunately not much more is known about Bertoncello; its catalogs and archives were destroyed when it was shuttered in 1999.
