<strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>Vita</strong> Collections <strong>Launches</strong><br />

<strong>New</strong> Rosina Wachtmeister Designs<br />

Original Press Release March 2003<br />

<strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>Vita</strong> Collections, the market leader in miniature enamel collectable<br />

teapots, has launched a unique new range: the Rosina Wachtmeister Collection of<br />

stylish cat designs.<br />

Rosina Wachtmeister is a world-renowned artist and her vibrant images and powerful<br />

colours are very popular with international collectors. Rosina herself was born in Vienna,<br />

stu<strong>di</strong>ed in art, sculpture and design in Brazil and now lives in Italy. Her work has been<br />

exhibited in Brazil, Italy, Switzerland, France and Germany. This is the first time that her art<br />

has been interpreted in enamel.<br />

There are now 156 miniature teapots available in the <strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>Vita</strong> Collections.<br />

<strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>Vita</strong> MBE continues to make donations, from funds raised through the<br />

<strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>Vita</strong> Collections, to the Trade <strong>plus</strong> Aid® charitable trust. Since <strong>Charlotte</strong>


founded Trade <strong>plus</strong> Aid®, she has raised over US$347,200 to initiate charitable projects<br />

to assist impoverished communities around the world.<br />

Stan<strong>di</strong>ng just 8 to 12cm high, every enamel teapot is in<strong>di</strong>vidually handcrafted and handpainted,<br />

taking up to four days to complete and entailing more than 129 skilled tasks.<br />

Intricate craftsmanship and timeless designs make the <strong>Charlotte</strong> <strong>di</strong> <strong>Vita</strong> Collections<br />

works of art to be treasured, like their 17 th Century counterparts, from generation to<br />

generation.<br />

Every teapot is a genuine numbered limited e<strong>di</strong>tion collectable, back-stamp authenticated<br />

and presented with a brass tag confirming the teapot as a “Certified Original”. The teapot<br />

comes in a stunning exclusive, design-led silk-lined gift box.<br />
