A Little History Lesson that I found by another seller: ARTESANIA RINCONADA is a unique line of ceramic figures produced in Uruguay - South America The collection is internationally known and is one of the finest examples of contemporary ceramic design. The figurines are hand carved and detailed in fine grain earthenware ceramic material and then fired. After this first firing the decoration continues with hand application of color and enamel glazed used to accent and highlight individual design characteristics. Each enamel glaze is fired individually in order to preserve its distinctive color. The brothers were from Spain and moved to Uruguay in as children in 1936 when the Spanish civil war erupted. Influenced by 20th century artists Salvador Dali, Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso, The Classic Collection was created by two brothers Jesus and Javier Carbajales in 1972 in Montevideo, Uruguay. The name for Artesania Rinconada is a Spanish phrase meaning - Art of the corner- or Corner Art, and was chosen by the brothers due to the fact that they worked out of a small corner of their living room for many years. Even though they long ago moved their "Corner Studio", their art was named and still to this day is referred to as Artesania Rinconada --- thus the initials AR are carved into each piece still today.
