ABOUT US



HISTORY

We are the oldest ceramic factory still active in Italy. Within is preserved the historical memory of the motherland of the ceramics of Castellamonte. The structure, miraculously survived intact over time, is an imposing building, which gathers an entire area, was built between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and was used for about two centuries in the manufacturing of superior craftsmanship. Two courtyards separated by a transverse body enhance the architecture.Walking in these places, comes to mind the theory of William Morris in the social dimension of art as a practical exercise that results in the craft. Many great artists in these 200 years have left mark of their passage, some refining techniques, other creating matrices that narrate the styles and fashions over the centuries.

TODAY
The ancient original matrices of the oldest still active ceramic factory in Italy, after a careful restoration, are used today to derive details and footprints in the manual shaping of small masterpieces: the ceramic jewelry of Ceramiche Cielle. All made by hand by master ceramists who are able to make them unique. As a testament, the numbering for each piece of jewelry is accompanied by a certificate of origin. Made with the best clay molded by hand and sintered at high temperature. Painted in gold, platinum and precious colored lusters. Our products are certified with the "Piemonte Excellence in Craftsmanship" - "Piemonte Eccellenza Artigiana" with the merit of being able to preserve the ancient techniques of creating high-quality products.
