Rinconada
This is a large Artesania Rinconada Sea Turtle, a limited edition with only 3,000 ever made. This ceramic sculpture is hand-carved from fine grain earthenware ceramic material, with 18 carat gold highlights. The sculpture is fired and then decorated with a hand application of enamel colors and glazes to accent and highlight individual design characteristics. Each enamel glaze is then re-fired individually in order to preserve its distinctive coloration.
Because variations occur in carving style and paint selection of each piece, no two figurines are exactly the same. This results in each figurine being a unique piece of collectible art.
Dimension: approx 220mm (L) x 160mm (W) x 90mm (H)
Artesania Rinconada
Artesania Rinconada pottery refers to unique, collectible ceramic figurines of animals and mythological figures, handmade in Uruguay by twin brothers Jesús and Javier Carbajales starting in 1972. The name translates to "corner art," referring to their early workspace in a living room corner. Each piece is hand-carved from fine-grain earthenware, decorated with colored slips, and finished with distinctive enamel glazes, with many figurines signed. The collection is known for its originality, fine craftsmanship, and the introduction of over 500 designs, making them sought-after collector's items.
