Description: NIB 1995 CHARLOTTE DI VITA TEAPOT “WHISKERS” HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE HDPTD MINIATURE LTD ED This little cat decorated teapot is just one of 156 different miniature teapot designs comprising this special MBE (Member of the British Empire) by Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace collection. The Queen received one of the very first teapots created by Charlotte di Vita located in London, England. When originally sold, a part of the profits went to Trade Plus Aid to countries in need.Each one of these miniature works of art is individually handmade and handpainted glossy enamel on high quality copper and takes more than 129 skilled tasks and takes up to four days to complete. No two are the same, although there are those that are similar. Each of these teapots, including this one, is a limited and numbered edition. This particular teapot is edition #145. It has its certified brass tag attached to its handle by a silk cord to certify that it is original. There is also a back stamp authenticating it. A special booklet is also included. Although the teapot is copyrighted in 1995, the booklet is 2001=2002. The teapot is approximately 4 3/4” wide 2” deep 3 1/2” tall with lid. It comes with its original reddish-orange patterned leatherette box with a bright blue satin inner lining which holds this precious piece. BEFORE PACKING so it safely arrives from us to you, the teapot in its box is approximately 6” long 6” wide 3” tall in box and weighs about 1 lb 1 oz. This is in new condition in its box with its tag and booklet, but it was copyrighted in 1995, but ours was most likely produced 2001 or 2001, like the booklet included. We believe this little gem has been kept in Its box, which is also in like new condition. You may not some oxidation, like the tiny bit on its handle, although this may have been the way it looked when produced. We noticed nothing of significance, but be sure to read our description and see our pictures.
