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 Collections™ is the market leader in miniature enamel teapots and is distributed worldwide.
