Dixon, Phillips & Co, Garrison Pottery, and attributed to Scott of Southwick, and Moore & Co, Wear Pottery, Sunderland
The first five plaques above are from the Garrison Pottery. Rectangular versions can be found with both the 'Dixon, Phillips & Co' (surrounding anchor) and the 'Dixon Co' impressed mark. The second circular plaque has a Dixon Co impressed mark. The Dixon, Phillips & Co anchor mark was likely used from 1839–c1850, and the Dixon Co impressed mark from c1851, until the Garrison Pottery closed in 1865. Scott of Southwick appears to have acquired the transfer plate at about this time. The last three plaques are attributed to Scott, c1865–1870.

The above orange plaque is of a form associated with Moore & Co. N.B Scott transfers often appear on plaques from moulds associated with Moore.
Unidentified pottery, John Carr's Low Lights Pottery, North Shields,
and Ball's Deptford Pottery
On these plaques, the bible reference is above the text (as transcribed below). The last three of these plaques are of a form associated with John Carr.
Job.8.20
Behold, God
will not cast away
a perfect man, neither
will he help the
evil-doers.
Behold, God

will he help the
evil-doers.
Orange plaques are usually attributed to Ball's Deptford Pottery. However, Carr also decorated items with orange lustre, and it seems likely that the first two plaques above were made at the Low Lights Pottery after 1860. The portrait-orientated plaque, above right, is likely later (post 1890) and attributed to Ball's Deptford Pottery.
Thomas Fell & Co, Newcastle
The first plaque has the crown impressed mark used by Fell & Co. Most of the rectangular plaques with this transfer have the hanging holes pierced below the lustre border - a feature apparently peculiar to Fell. However, the top right plaque has the holes pierced through the lustre border.
The transfer has a fault that appears on these later plaques: a small scratch/nick to the right of the flower shown in the details (taken from the plaques above them).
Note that on this transfer the verse ends with a colon. Also, the bible reference has no full stops.
