Serving Plates by Philippe Deshoulieres Limoges Opera Paris Art Nouveau the Ballet Russes Paris Costumes Designed by Leon Bakst (1866-1924) Porcelaine de Limoges.
Designs are from a costume design for Fokine's ballet Thamar,' by Léon Bakst. This ballet was premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris in 1912. Trying to restage the exotic success of 'Schéhérazade', Serge Siaghilev chose to present this ballet in the third season of the Ballets Russes, although without success. Despite finding the ballet rather insipid, the public was pleased with Bakst's conical setting for the stage design, piled with colorful cushions, and the ravishing costumes in the Georgian manner.
