A letter to Josiah Wedgwood from William Greatbatch dated May 1764 refers to a 'Squirrel and Bird tpt Block' and asks whether his client would like 'ground work upon it or not'. For a similar example, see Leslie B. Grigsby, The Henry H. Weldon Collection, English Pottery, Stoneware and Earthenware, 1650-1800, London, 1990, p. 72, no. 10. Also compare, Property from the Estate of Brooke Astor, Sotheby's, New York, 24-25 September 2012, lot 247.

For a goat and 'no-bee' jug and a discussion of the form at Chelsea, see Peter William and Pat Halfpenny, A Passion for Pottery, Further Selections from the Henry H. Weldon Collection, New York, 2000, p. 74 and 75, no. 32.
