The Charlotte di Vita Collectionsâ,,¢

When Charlotte di Vita went to China in 1997, as well as creating ethical employment in a deprived area of northern China, she played a significant role in reviving traditional, 17th century techniques of hand-painting enamel miniatures. In China, these skills had historically been confined to the Imperial Court and handed down from generation to generation. Charlotte tracked down one of the last mastercraftsmen to have been taught these skills.

Today the Charlotte di Vita Collectionsâ,,¢ is the market leader in miniature enamel teapots and is distributed worldwide.

Charlotte Di Vita

END OF AN ERA
Due to the rise in copper prices (which is the base metal that Charlotte di Vita teapots are made from) has made the manufacture and sale of the teapots unviable in the future.
Tfore the Charlotte di Vita range of teapots, cups and saucers will cease to be made after December 2006.
Charlotte di Vita is a UK businesswoman & founder of Trade Plus Aid. Charlotte promotes ethical trading and has raised over $1.3 million for charitable, ethical and sustainable development projects around the world. In 1998 Charlotte received an MBE from the Queen for her tireless charity work.
The Charlotte di Vita Collection is her latest project to help both villagers in China and generate funds for charitable projects elsew The project involves 336 Chinese villagers who are reviving 18th Century enameling skills to create highly collectable teapots.

Teapots are made using advanced quality and safety control measures, but the production methods are the same as the traditional techniques used in the 18th century. Up to 4 days and 129 tasks are required to make one teapot. Each piece is individually handcrafted, ensuring that no two pieces are ever identical. Each teapot is hand numbered and beautifully gift boxed.
