Sales of teapots collection to help finance Community development.
As a teenage schoolgirl, Charlotte di Vita made necklaces to sell in their own way in the absence of classmates, giving the Prof-its of the Association of dogs. At 20, he sold pendants carved in Ghana for a hip crowd in London and use the profits to fund projects in the developing world.
Di Vita is glamorous Anglo-founder of Italian Trade and aid. Since the launch of the charity or fundraising organization in 1992, was in search of the perfect little something that can provide enough gainful employment development World artisans producing the perfect "something little higher, but also the convenience of West-erner to pass several times.
With his collection of miniature enamel teapots, Vita di reasonably sure that she has something perfect. Miniature teapots, made in a remote corner of China, have been introduced in the growing British market for the collection in 1998. Sales that year reached 2.7 million, and the end of Last year, more than 3 million had been returned to the enamel target = "_blank" title = "Yixing teapot"> Chinese and nearly $ 300,000 had been posed to initiate development projects in Africa.
All this without experience in manufacturing, marketing, art or charity. "I was 24 when I started the business in a help, if I had not had time to develop a substantive, "Vita di said. for trade, more aid to finance projects Vita di dreamed development, crafts or works of art must have a broad appeal. And with miniature enamel teapots found a set minimum orders this day in 5000.
"The only way to differentiate is to appeal to Mrs Bloggs and Mr. and Mrs. Blah Blah" Vita di said. 120 kettles different models, stand eight to 12 inches high and are handmade. Part of his appeal in Britain, di Vita said, is to revive an almost lost art form of the 18th century. Every glass of water is hand painted with images below a certain theme, like Beatrix Potter, or the works of Van Gogh, Cezanne and Klimt, and collector of collectors, as there much trade activity continues.
It is suggested that collectors to see the miniature teapots as a particularly good value when enamel boxes by British companies Halcyon Days as CRUMMLES and can cost 10 times more than 25 pounds (about $ 70) teapots. Di Vita said many jewelry boxes now used instead of paint transfers hand and if the teapots are made in Britain, which cost hundreds of pounds. "The British artists who can deliver the paint wants £ 600 to £ 700 per week. Each tea takes four days to complete, so you can see how expensive they are. "
Following the success of teapots, di Vita plans to add a range of cups miniature tea glaze and hopes to work with the wife of Sir Paul McCartney, Heather Mills, to help children injured by landmines. "We're talking to holder of the yellow submarine in a series, because it is very hot in Britain at the time. "
And di Vita does not care if people buy their tea without thinking of the communities fighting in Africa and Asia. "They do not buy it because it's a good cause, they buy because they like, but once you read the information on trade and aid, we lots of e-mails from customers asking, "How can we help? And this is not an expensive product, otherwise they could buy a Tiffany key chain for a friend, but now going to buy one of the teapots.
