Description

Available for sale today is a pair of beautifully crafted Artesania Rinconada elephant figurines. The set features a larger elephant and a smaller one, perhaps a mommy with her baby, both topped with colorful hats. The hand-painted details and textured design showcase the artistry that Artesania Rinconada figurines are known for.

Both pieces are signed on the base. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, these elephants make a lovely addition to any Artesania Rinconada collection. And, with their petite size, they are designed to fit beautifully into any space and complement any style of decor.
 

Approximate Dimensions:

  • The larger elephant is 4.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall.
  • The smaller elephant is 3.5 inches wide and 3 inches tall.

Condition:

  • Excellent condition, with no chips and no cracks. The only flaw we can see is that the smaller elephant has one of the tusks broken. It's still there but its tip is missing. You can see it in the enclosed photographs.
  • Lovely colors in their hats, different for each elephant.
     

About Artesania Rinconada

Artesania Rinconada is a renowned line of handcrafted ceramic figurines produced in Uruguay. Founded by the Carbajales brothers, Jesus and Javier, in the early 1970s, these figurines are celebrated for their unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and artistic flair. The name "Artesania Rinconada" roughly translates to "artisan from the corner" or "corner artisan," reflecting the small, family-run origins of the business.

Each piece is individually handcrafted and hand-painted, making every figurine unique. The designs are often inspired by nature and feature a variety of animals, including elephants, cats, dogs, and birds. The figurines are known for their distinct style, which includes rich earth tones, detailed textures, and the use of 24-carat gold and platinum accents.

Collectors appreciate Artesania Rinconada figurines for their artistry and the care put into each piece. Over the years, the company has expanded its line to include limited editions and more intricate designs, making these figurines popular collectibles worldwide. The pieces are often small, making them perfect for display on shelves, mantels, or as part of a larger collection.

As far as we know, Artesania Rinconada has discontinued production. The company seems to have ceased operations around 2007. This has made their existing pieces, especially those produced before this time, more collectible and sought after by collectors.
