'Burmantofts' Monkey?

Hello,

My wife recently purchased this ceramic monkey at auction - they described it as being Burmantofts in style. However we can't find anything similar from Burmantofts. We have found similar designs being listed as French Majolica, and even Japanese - but I don't trust the authority of those listings.

I have included a shot of the base (monkey3.jpg) - there are no markings - and also a couple of unglazed patches?

The colour comes out more blue in the photo - it's actually more turquoise in real life. We were at Saltaire today, where they have a large collection of Burmantofts in the Hockney Gallery and the blue of the monkey is definitely the same 'blue' as the Burmantofts on display.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
