the stoneware reminds me a bit of Elizabeth Raeburn , but I'm really not sure will have a google on her stuff , ( that sounds terrible , doesn't it )

I can understand why Ed has suggested Elizabeth Raeburn but I can't remember seeing anything by her so figurative in form.

Elizabeth Raeburn said that isn't one of her's... from the looks of it i would say is from a good hand?

While the base is obviously pottery, are you sure the female torso is? It looks like carved stone to me (although if it is stone then I don't have an answer for how the necklace was applied).
Can you post a photo of the bottom of the torso, please.

lol, that's what i have been trying to figure out... could it be possible!! that two people made this items... because the torso has some sort of high fired stone attach to the base before which does work.. so i took it off with screw driver and found another mark on the base of this torso.. so is strange now :)... but for sure the torso look pottery to me but carved pottery perhaps and that necklace is glazed as well... will sent a pic of the mark i just found at the base of the torso now

Without handling it I couldn't say for sure, but it looks like file marks on the base, and down the sweep of the thighs.
The mark on the bottom might be 06 for 2006.

Agreed.
There are a number of studio potters making raku sheep, eg, Rob Whelpton.
