Shabtis have been a popular tourist souvenir for centuries. Perhaps the earliest example is a reproduction shabti of the Renaissance period that was once part of the collection of Archbishop William Laud (1573-1645). While most reproduction shabtis originate from Egypt, some figurines were made in Europe. For instance, in the late 19th century, the Sèvres factory in France produced soft-paste porcelain shabtis with a beautiful bright turquoise glaze.
