Reginald John "Rex" Whistler (1905–1944)

Programme for a George VI State Performance

of Tchaikovsky's "The Sleeping Princess" in Honour of French President Albert François Lebrun

Royal Opera House, London

22nd March 1939

39.1 cm x 22.6 cm

Elaborately shaped, die-cut cream card covers with embossing, printed images and gold printed Royal crown and cypher. Gilt cord and tassels to the spine. Further illustrations and vignettes within (not by Rex Whistler), with details of performers over 12 pages.

An ornate souvenir programme for the State Performance hosted by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at the Royal Opera House on 22 March 1939 in honour of the President of the French Republic, Albert François Lebrun (1871-1950) and his wife Madame Lebrun. The performers included Margot Fonteyn, Robert Helpmann, William Chappell, Frank Staff and Frederick Ashton with Sir Thomas Beecham conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Widely considered to be one of Rex Whistler's most beautiful printed designs this theatre program is a particularly remarkable and imaginative creation, considering the usual status accorded to such ephemeral objects. Along with the design for the shaped and embossed card, Whistler provided the cover illustration with the arms of France and England guarded by the national emblems of the English lion and Gallic rooster ('le coq gaulois'). For the night of the performance Rex Whistler had also decorated the Royal Box with similar motifs

Good quality. Works fine.
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
I've never had matcha or made it before, so I looked up how to care for this set and how to use it right. There's a website called "tea is the cup of life" that has a very informative video and article about how everything related to matcha is hand made, etc. And shows what you need to do. The instructions are also on box, but seemed simplified. They're accurate enough to get you started. Based on the time consuming nature of hand making the bamboo stuff, I'd be really surprised if this is actually hand made with them selling the volume they're selling. It's still good quality, just I doubt it's hand made at this price point. The one star off is for two reasons: the whisk is supposed to make the matcha "frothy". It got a little bubbly, but not more than just stirring it with a spoon or a regular little metal whisk does. The second reason is the bamboo has supposedly less static cling for the matcha powder compared to metal spoons, so you don't waste the labor intensive and expensive powder. The matcha powder sticks to both bamboo spoons just as much as it sticks to a metal spoon, but the metal spoon rinsed off into the tea cup 100% and the bamboo still had a little powder in the grain so the spoon needed washed and a little powder was wasted. Is it enough to worry about really? I dunno. But it seems like the purists are really interested in details like that, so I'm mentioning it. Oh yeah, the description says this one is yellow and their images show that yellow green crayon color, which is what I expected to get. It's that more green color. I don't think anyone would call it yellow when they see it in person. The kit works as intended and it is good quality. Since I'm just getting into it for the health benefits of matcha tea and not for the ceremony, I didn't find the processes "meditative" at all. I'll probably just stick to using a regular spoon and whisk in the cup, but if you want to do the whole ceremonial shebang at an affordable price, this kit will do the trick.

Great gift set to for matcha lovers
Color: Yellow
Got as a birthday gift. It's the recipient favorite color. Its not part of their daily routine to have a barista like matcha. And appreciate everything about making the quality of the matcha taste that much better. Good value got it on sale. I probably purchase another color for myself.

Tea
Color: Yellow
A matcha set like the 8-piece ceramic speckled design (with teapot + whisk) is all about completeness, ceramic quality, included tools, and gift presentation. The best sets give you everything needed for a traditional matcha routine while also looking beautiful enough to display.
