Rinconada is internationally known for it's unique personality, character and originality. The Artesania Rinconada Collection is truly one of the finest examples of contemporary ceramic design. Artesania Rinconada figurines are individually hand carved from a flat mold, making each piece unique and distinctive from others of it's kind. For each Rinconada piece - after initial kiln firing, decoration continues with the hand application of coloured slips and enamel glazes to highlight individual design characteristics. Each enamel glaze must be re-fired individually in order to preserve its distinctive coloration.
The name Artesania Rinconada is a Spanish phrase meaning 'Art of the corner' or 'Corner art' and was chosen because the original creators, Jesus and Javier Carbajales, worked out of a small corner of their living room for many years.
In recent years Rinconada has evolved under a new factory director, Jorge De Rosa and have since collaborated with Jesus and Javier Carbajales to develop a series of gold and platinum accented animal figurines to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original Classic Collection. These new Rinconada designs formed the beginning of the Silver Anniversary Collection which is successfully making Artesania Rinconada a leading worldwide collectible.
