Frenchmen were the first to make enamel miniatures in the 17th century. The English learned the skills in the 18th century and applied them to copper boxes and created these hand painted bibelots. Unfortunately, the English now use transfer-printer technology in order to mass produce these boxes. The hand-paint tradition was lost until recently revived by the makers of our Miniature Teapots. Ours are 100% handmade, following the 17th century tradition.

They are for decorative use only and measure approximately 3 to 4-1/2" high and approximately 2-1/2" - 3-1/2" wide.

They are quite collectible and make wonderful gifts. Frame several of them in an acrylic box for your shelf or your wall. For information on our acrylic boxes, please email or call us. You may purchase the teapots in our Secure Online Store!
