This design which was copied and popularised by the Compton Pottery in Surrey set up in the early 20th century by the social reformer Mary Seton Watts to whom the original model has sometimes been erroneously attributed. The design was furthered copied in the latter period of the 20th century in composition stone, however it is extremely rare to find this model carved in stone prior to the Compton pottery examples.
