Artesia Rinconada Ram #05 From Uruguay, Signed, Retired

An amazing Ram #05 figurine by Artesania Rinconada from Uruguay. It is hand carved, hand painted and marked on the bottom. It measures approximately 4” x 2.5” x 2.5” and is in excellent condition. Internationally known for its unique personality, character, and originality, the Artesania Rinconada Collection is truly one of the finest examples of contemporary ceramic design. No longer produced, these ceramic figures are becoming sought after as collectible art. Artesania Rinconada figurines were carefully hand-carved and detailed in fine grain earthenware ceramic material. After initial kiln firing, decoration continued with the hand application of colored slips and enamel glazes used to accent and highlight individual design characteristics. Each enamel glaze must be re-fired individually in order to preserve its distinctive coloration.
