Information about the manufacturer
Ceramic Ronzan: The company 'Ronzan' was founded in 1939 in Turin, after Jose Antonio Ronzan, along with brothers Giovanni and Giuseppe, left the company to focus on artistic ceramics production. In 1942, due to the war, he decided to move production from Turin to Bassano del Grappa, considering it a safer location. Among the production staff from the early 1940s was decorator Rose Ceramics, who, besides the factory's name, also used the brand with his initials HF. In 1949, Giovanni left his brothers' business and trainer Cecchetto and moved to Turin, where he established 'Original Ceramics by Giovanni Ronzan'. Meanwhile, in Bassano, the company's name changed first to Ronzan and Ceramics 'Castro', then to 'Ronzan and Son'. In 1968, he left his home for Antonio Bassano and moved to Turin, where the management of the manufactory was taken over by Manifattura di Giovanni Joseph and his son Renato. They managed production until 1996, after which it was taken over by the directors of Bassano. The production, characterized by technical and formal quality and achieving commercial success, consists of modern ceramics: vases, figurines, decorative tiles, and dishes, primarily with sacral and religious themes. The production ended in Bassano, with Joseph's son Renato, until 1996, and in Turin, in the hands of Antonio's children Judith and Peter, in 2001.
The parcel is very well secured and insured. Due to high shipping costs, I only ship within Europe. Any customs duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
