Blue Gnu Ltd, an officially recognised producer of ceramic Superlambananas, made the figures in a number of colours before production stopped. Most follow the bright yellow of the original sculpture, while this less common version has a uniform glossy pink glaze. The colour gives the familiar shape a completely different character and turns it into a strong decorative object in its own right.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Blue Gnu Ltd stamp is on the base.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe figure measures approximately 19 cm long and 15 cm high.

The unlikely combination of a lamb and a banana serves two purposes: it humorously warns of the dangers of genetic engineering while also referring to Liverpool’s maritime history and the regular import and export of bananas and wool through the city’s docks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original sculpture stands 5.2 metres high.
