Desdemona candle snuffer produced by Royal Worcester of Worcester, England, in a 2002 limited edition of 100. Desdemona is a character in William Shakespeare's play Othello (c. 1601–1604).
Shakespeare's Desdemona is a Venetian beauty who enrages and disappoints her father, a Venetian senator, when she elopes with Othello, a Moorish Venetian military prodigy. When her husband is deployed to Cyprus in the service of the Republic of Venice, Desdemona accompanies him. There, her husband is manipulated by his ensign Iago into believing she is an adulteress, and, in the last act, she is murdered by her estranged spouse.
