An identical example is in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, accession no. 38.165.51 and another is illustrated by Captain M H Grant, The Makers of Black Basaltes (1910), Pl.XLVIII(1). In May 1774, Stephan wrote to Wedgwood seeking employment but there is no evidence that he obtained work at the factory. He did, however, supply them with moulds later in that year. For a full discussion of this figure, see Robin Reilly, Wedgwood, Vol.1, pp.469-71.
