The history of Laveno ceramics begins in 1856 with the founding of the Italian Ceramic Society (SCI) in Laveno-Mombello, in the province of Varese.

The SCI has collaborated with important artists and designers, such as Guido Andlovitz, Antonia Campi, and Angelo Biancini, who have helped define the style of Laveno ceramics.
The productions stand out for their variety of styles, ranging from Liberty to Deco, from modern design to more traditional productions.
The ceramics of Laveno are known for the production of tableware, decorative objects, sculptures, and artistic ceramics.
