Reference: For a similar example see Bonhams, Martin Brothers, Charles Vyse and Ceramic Design 1860 - 1945, 1st March 2006, lot 80, where the catalogue states 'this figure is one of only two known. Please see Lot 84, Philips sale 'Ceramic Design 1860-1945' 25th January 2001 for the only other known figure from the same private collection'. The present example is therefore presumably a third.
