History
1945
In 1945, a young man by the name of Jorge De Rosa Thompson enrolled in Argentina’s National School of Ceramic Design. The Escuela Nacional de Cerámica, located in the capital city of Buenos Aires, was home to world-class artists and professors such as Fernando Arranz and Antonio Berni.
Jorge De Rosa Thompson thrived in this fascinating new environment, exhibiting a special passion for the craft of ceramic design. Upon graduation, he remained at the school as a professor while beginning his own career as a ceramic artist, creating and designing ceramic works of art for homes and businesses along the banks of the River Plate.
1965
During the spring of 1965, Mr. De Rosa Thompson moved with his family across the River Plate to Montevideo, Uruguay, where he opened his company, expanding his market into Uruguay and Brazil. In 1975, he co-founded “Artesanía Rinconada” together with Jesús and Javier Carbajales.
His only child, Jorge De Rosa Duo, grew up immersed in the ceramic environment. As a child, he accompanied his father to the factory, where he had the opportunity to observe designers at work, awakening in him a deep interest in ceramic art.
1996
In 1996, Jorge De Rosa Thompson handed over the running of the company to his son, Jorge De Rosa Duo. This marked a new era of growth for the family business with the decision to create “De Rosa Collections” and build a new production plant.
He began by envisioning timeless creations, firmly believing in both the present and the future. Before long, he found success introducing De Rosa Collections, now universally recognized for their artistic and elegant use of platinum, 18-karat gold, and vibrant enamel glazes in the creation of their handmade ceramic figurines.
