Further to my suspicion there is an undocumented Zodiac
series of plates. My "Saggitarius" plate is shown earlier in this thread.
These two plates are by Susan Parkinson, from
the March Wooley and Wallis sale. (pix on my own site).

Quite possibly Gemini the twins.

Maybe Aries the Ram?

Hmm Dan, As the Parky items were slip-cast moulded, it's a bit of an unfair comparison. It wasn't so much about the pottery itself,
more about the design, and the humourous abstract art-work, particularly on the "flat" items like the plates and chargers.
