Jesus
and Javier Carbajales, creators of th eArtesania Rinconada Collection,
are identical twin brothers who were born in Apain on February 20,
1930. The Spanish Civil War erupted in 1936, and family
immigrated to Uruguay, South America. They settled in Montevideo,
a beautiful city situated on the eastern banks of the Rio de La Plata
just across the river from Buenos Aires, Argentina. This was "
The Land of the Gaucho" and is where Jesus and Javier live and work to
this very day. |

Rinconada,
pronounced Ring-ko-nada, is a Spanish word used to describe "a small
corner area". It was chosen as the name for Jesus and Javier
Carbajales' hand- crafted ceramic animal designs because the twin
brother' studio was limited to a very small corner area of their living
room for so many years. |
