Description: Vintage Artesania Rinconada Lion Hand Carved Clay Figurine Signed Uruguay Super cute hand carved Lion. Perfect condition. Measures 2 3/4 x 3 inches to the tip of his toes. See photos for detail. 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 and craftmanship. Each subject is carefully hand-carved and detailed from fine grain earthenware ceramic material then, after it’s initial kiln firing, decoration continues with the hand application of enamel colors and glazes used to accent and highlight individual design characteristics. Each enamel glaze must be re-fired individually in order to preserve it’s distinctive coloration.This exquisite collection of hand-crafted ceramic design was created by twin brothers Jesus and Javier Carbajales during the fall of 1972 in Montevideo, Uruguay. The Carbajales were born in Spain in 1930 and moved to Uruguay when the Spanish Civil War erupted in 1936. The brothers, however, did not forget their artistic roots. The Carbajales chose nature as their subject and their sculptures blend a traditional South American Style with a surrealist flair.Since their introduction in 1972, the artists have introduced over 500 original designs. Thank you for looking.
