[UPDATE 09/02/2020] – Many thanks to Sue from the UK for getting in touch. She kindly provided all the colour images from the piece she has in her collection. Beautiful!
This design, with a much more african looking face, appears to use very similar features to earlier work by Paoli. See the Sitting lady with vases by Paoli – Reg 891803 / 37 and just ignore the head.
