Charlotte di Vita Pyramus and Thisbe Teapot -NIB

Lenox Bath Time Buddies Golden Retriever figurine Description: You are bidding on a miniature enameled copper Charlotte di Vita Pyramus and Thisbe cat design teapot. Condition: New in silk lined orange box with a imitation snakes skin look. Description: Great use of color on this one! Reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's painting. The Charlotte di Vita Collections(tm) enamels are created using advanced quality and safety control measures, but the production methods remain based on the traditional techniques used in Georgian England. Continuing an ancient art form ( similar to the process of making the collectible and expensive Halcyon Days miniature boxes ), prized by collectors since the 18th century, each teapot is made from 19 individually cut copper pieces. After the teapot is fashioned from copper, it is dipped in porcelain. A design outline is then created. Each teapot is then individually handpainted to create lustrous enamel paintings. Handcrafting ensures that no two pieces are ever identical. Standing just 8 to 12cm high, every one of these Charlotte di Vita Collections(tm) miniature enamel teapots is individually hand-made and hand-painted, taking up to four days to complete and entailing more than 129 skilled tasks. Intricate craftsmanship and timeless designs, make the Charlotte di Vita Collections works of art to be treasured, like their 17th Century counterparts, from generation to generation. Every teapot is a genuine numbered edition collectible, back-stamp authenticated and presented with a brass tag tied by a silk cord to the handle confirming the teapot as a "Certified Original". The teapot comes in a stunning exclusive, design-led, silk-lined gift box. Size: 4 3/4" high by about 3 3/4" long from tip of spout to outer edge of handle.
