I ordered a custom white mask with pink filigree for my plague nurse outfit!!! Not only was the quality amazing, but it arrived super fast! It was super fun to wear and got a lot of attention. The only thing is the goggles fogged up since it was a humid night, so I'd definitely recommend getting some anti fog spray. Can't recommend it enough regardless, especially for the price!! ✨

The masks arrived safely in a well packed box and before my event. I really like the mask and how comfortable they were to wear all night. The material was light weight and not discomfort while wearing. I would return to buy my items from the seller.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Jester Mask and how is it related to Commedia dell'arte?

The history of Jester Venetian masks is closely tied to the rich tradition of the Venetian Carnival and the Commedia dell'arte, a popular form of Italian theater that emerged in the 16th century.

The Commedia dell'arte was a form of improvisational theater characterized by masked performers who portrayed stock characters with distinct personalities. One of these characters was Arlecchino, a mischievous and acrobatic servant known for his colorful costume and cunning tricks. Arlecchino's mask and costume later influenced the design of Jester masks.

When did Jester masks become popular?

The Venetian Carnival, which dates back to the 12th century, provided a festive backdrop for the emergence of Jester masks. During the carnival season, which typically lasted from December 26th to Shrove Tuesday, people from all walks of life would don masks and costumes to engage in revelry, disguise their identities, and indulge in various forms of entertainment.
