Abstract
The article presents the find of a tall cylindrical beaker from Ilok
(Újlak) belonging to the Falke group of stoneware, produced in
the 15th century in the far east of Saxony, in the area of historical
Lusatia. It represents the southernmost known example of
Falke-group stoneware in Europe. After a review of previous
knowledge of Falke-group stoneware, its dating and the origin
of the workshop, the Ilok find is compared with other European
finds. The beaker was certainly in the inventory of the knight’s
hall of Duke Lawrence of Ilok, and it had probably already belonged
to his father, Nicholas of Ilok, the builder of the Újlaki
palace in Ilok. The question arises as to whether the Dukes of
Ilok inherited this luxurious specimen of table stoneware from
their ancestors.
