There is a figurine called the same:

Did you ask the person who was selling them on eBay about them (they didn't sell so you could ask them to look on the backs, sometimes that gives extra info)

I suppose you could ask Coalport themselves?  They are part of Wedgwood, here is the contact form to ask them:

Minefield, dud, bright sparks.  :24:

You'll know if they're Bradford Exchange as they'll have a Bradex number on the base.

Hi Sue C
Sorry for the delay with a reply, I am sure I miss some email notifactions.

Thank you for the link, very good, but it does not say much, like number in the set what year etc.

I tried the Wedgwood link, was of no help, I felt that they did not have any interest in my question.

We were interested in these plates for a client but worked out to costly.
