Variants of this group, probably inspired by Meissen sheep, were made in Chelsea, Bow, Longton Hall, and Derby porcelain, in tin-glazed earthenware, and in Staffordshire white salt-glazed stoneware and lead-glazed earthenware. It seems likely that the Staffordshire white salt-glazed stoneware examples were probably based on the Derby dry-edge model of c. 1750 or the Longton Hall model.
