1991 Shiseido Hanatsubaki Club “Le Théâtre des Fleurs” Hélène Tran Porcelain Display Plate
THB 260
A Japanese Shiseido Hanatsubaki Club original plate bearing a 1991 underside mark and the French title Le Théâtre des Fleurs (“The Theater of Flowers”). The colorful theatrical floral illustration is credited on the plate to Hélène Tran. Its white porcelain ground, glossy glaze, mint, burgundy, and gilt border, and elaborate rose-and-music imagery place it firmly within Shiseido’s early-1990s corporate gift and art-promotion program. The photographed mark supports attribution to Shiseido as issuer and Hélène Tran as illustrator, but does not identify the manufacturing kiln. No dimensions or weight are stated because none were supplied.
