Artesania Rinconada, now known as the De Rosa Collection, is a famous Uruguayan brand of hand carved figurines. Artesania Rinconada was founded in 1975 by Jorge De Rosa Thompson along with Jesus and Javier Carbajales. In 1996 Jorge De Rosa Jr and his daughter Agustina De Rosa took over the running of the company. The name was changed to De Rosa Collections and a new production plant was built. The figurines are now made exclusively in their workshop in Canelones, Uruguay, South America.

Figurines start out as a master design from which a mold is made. Liquid ceramic is pored into the mold and removed when it's almost dry. The ceramic is then hand carved, ensuring no two figurines are identical. After carving the pieces are fired in a kiln, painted with enamel glazes, and then fired again. The last step in the process is the application of 18k gold and platinum accents.
