Falstaff character jug modeled by Harry Fenton and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, between 1950-1995. Appearing first in Shakespeare's "Henry IV Part I", (1597), Sir John Falstaff is a fat, witty knight whose humor and love of life enable him to see the world and also himself as an object of ridicule and laughter. A braggart and a rogue with enough resource to save face after various riotous exploits with his companions, including the young Prince Hal, Falstaff exaggerates his vices in order to expose their humorous side. Originally called Oldcastle, the character was renamed after an objection from Lord Cobham, a descendent of the original Sir John Oldcastle. Although he dies at the end of "Henry IV", Falstaff makes a reappearance by royal command in Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor" where Queen Elizabeth wished to see the roguish knight in love. A feather forms the handle of this jug. Presented here for sale is the large size jug. A small size (D6385) and miniature size (D6519) were also produced.
