Aurora pattern by Hazel Thumpston (mid-late fifties)
This shape is also seen in the mirage pattern with a black and gold decoration. According to Mclaren (Ceramics of the 1950s), pages 18-19, Thumpston was a graduate of the Royal College of Art, London. She had worked on crystalline patterns for the Festival Pattern Group (a design group associated with the Festival of Britain, 1951). The crystal motif is very much evident here.

Voodoo pattern by Hazel Thumpston
Voodoo has a furry pattern in the centre surrounded by a row of white dots. A delicate, three-footed candle holder is seen, as above (so delicate that it is usually damaged), and a dish like the one below, but pointed at both ends. An unusual Foley shape from the fifties was a bowl with three candleholders in the base, coming in a variety of patterns.
