Ceramiche d’Arte F.L. was founded in 1965 under the name Ceramiche d’Arte Orgia, a company established by three friends and partners: Campagnaro Orfeo, Battilana Giovanni, and Gastaldello Antonio. A singular and strongly identifying name, derived from the initials of the founders — Orfeo, Giovanni, and Antonio — which still reflects the original spirit of the company today.

Building on the previous experience of the three founders, a particularly favorable historical context, and a strategic location in the heart of the Venetian ceramic district, between Bassano del Grappa and Nove, the company quickly established itself successfully in the market. Over the following decades, it received numerous municipal and provincial “work” awards, a testament to its craftsmanship and dedication.

The initial production fully reflected the style of the era: baroque-inspired shapes, rich decoration, and great attention to detail, with extensive use of painting techniques based on gold and platinum shades, alongside freehand painting, in which floral motifs became the absolute protagonists.

The 1970s and 1980s marked a period of great prosperity for the company, coinciding with the international boom of artistic ceramics, which led the creations of Ceramiche d’Arte F.L. to be exported and appreciated worldwide.

Between 1970 and 1975, thanks to a collaboration with the renowned ceramist and designer Frimino (Mimmo) Tartaglia, one of the most iconic items in our production took shape in our workshops: the ceramic fruit basket. This project marked a decisive moment in the company’s history, paving the way for a new focus on the North American market. The success of this piece spanned decades, maintaining strong international demand and continuing to be exported in large quantities until the early years of the new millennium. Even today, albeit with less prominence, reinterpreted and refined versions of this historic model remain in production, a testament to its enduring relevance.

During the same years, Fabrizio and Loriano Campagnaro, sons of Orfeo, began their professional journey within the company. The experience they gained over time provided a further boost to the development and growth of the business.

Between 1980 and 2000, new styles and collections were introduced alongside the historic lines, progressively expanding the range to over 500 items in the catalog. During the same period, Giovanni and Antonio left the company. In 2006, the company officially adopted the name Ceramiche d’Arte F.L., and Orfeo Campagnaro stepped down, leaving the management and continuity of the company fully in the hands of his sons.

In recent years, the new generation leading the company has established selected collaborations with specialized designers and artisans, giving rise to collections that are profoundly renewed compared to the past. The lines currently in production stand out for a more vibrant color palette, combined with significantly higher quality standards and finishing levels.

Over time, the catalog has been progressively expanded to approximately 2,000 products, each customizable through dozens of variants, finishes, and color options, to precisely meet the needs of different markets and clients.

Today, we devote the utmost attention to every stage of the production process, making innovation one of the pillars of our success. Every day, new ideas take shape in our workshops, contributing to the continuous renewal of the company’s vision. Only projects that meet the highest standards of quality, aesthetics, and functionality are selected to be presented to clients and included in the catalog.

The production process faithfully respects ancient artisanal techniques, while also utilizing modern systems capable of ensuring excellent and consistent results. The raw material is processed using advanced machinery, then fired in large, technologically controlled kilns, which allow targeted interventions during the cycle to optimize the final result. The final phase is entrusted to the skilled hands of our artisans, who decorate and refine each piece in full compliance with the specifications and customizations requested by the client, making every creation unique.
