👉 Representative pieces of the work of Bertoncello, a major Italian ceramic workshop of the 1960s and 70s.
Note: The Bertoncello Ceramiche d’Arte workshop, founded around 1956 in Schiavon, Italy, was initially known by the acronym LBP, formed from the names of its founders: M. Lini, Giovanni Bertoncello, and M. Pizzato. Quickly taken over by Giovanni Bertoncello (1930–2011) and his brother Felice, the workshop experienced significant growth in the 1970s, employing up to thirty people, with Giovanni responsible for the design of the forms and glazes. The company closed in 1999.
