This is an adorable Elephant from the Artesania Rinconada collection. I believe it is from the 1980s and is the Small Elephant number 09. It is in excellent condition and still has its tusks that are set into the ceramic.

Since 1972 Artesania Rinconada has been producing ceramic design items of the finest quality in Montevideo, Uruguay. They have become internationally known for the unique character and personality of their figurines. The Artesania Rinconada figurines were designed by Jesus and Javier Carbajales. Each figurine is skillfully carved and then hand painted with enamel glazes. Loosely translated the company's name means art of the corner, and refers to the designs beginnings in the corner of the family home. The bottom has been signed with the initials "aR". It measures approximately 3" x 3-1/2".
