Scenes from Falstaff

Catalog No. B2B

Stoneware, relief, 0.5L, pewter lid.

Sir John Falstaff, seen below attempting to hide in a large laundry basket, is one of the most famous comic characters in all English literature, appearing in four of Shakespeare�s plays and later in Giuseppe Verdi�s final opera Falstaff, which was inspired principally by Falstaff�s follies in Shakespeare�s The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Base of example shown here marked �Gr�s Rhenana� (Rhenish stoneware), a term applied by Gerz to a series of items displaying relief decoration and a faux salt-glazed background in varying shades of blue.
