This would appear to be the only recorded example of the enamelled version of this pattern. For an interesting parallel in contemporary underglaze blue decoration at Worcester see the 'Jetty Fisherman' pattern (I.A.1A) illustrated by Branyan, French and Sandon, Worcester Blue and White Porcelain (1981), p.41.
