                                                                                        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 c1834–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 last three of these plaques are of a form associated with John Carr.

Ian Sharp has identified the mark as the Tyneside company J Burn & Co from the Stepney Bank Pottery, Ouseburn, 1852–1860.  Note that on this transfer the verse ends with a colon.  Also, the bible reference has no full stops.
