Early plaques

Click on the images to enlarge.  Click on the pages above to view individual plaques.

Black and yellow plaques

Twelve black and yellow plaques without makers' marks. The three larger rectangular plaques were made at the Garrison Pottery (Dixon), Sunderland. Most of the others are attributed to the Sheriff Hill Pottery in Gateshead on Tyneside. The large circular plaque is from an as yet unidentified pottery. The verses are transcribed below.  
 
These Sheriff Hill-attributed plaques have a pottery 'tab' with two holes for hanging. I've seen them variously misattributed, depending on the colour of their border: black and yellow, to Staffordshire; black and red/puce to Yorkshire or Scotland; and pink lustre to Sunderland.

SWIFTLY SEE EACH MOMENT FLIES,
SEE AND LEARN BE TIMELY WISE,
EVERY MOMENT SHORTENS DAY,
EVERY PULSE BEATS LIFE AWAY,
THUS THY EVERY HEAVING BREATH,
WAFT THEE ON TO CERTAIN DEATH,
SEIZE THE MOMENTS AS THEY FLY,
KNOW TO LIVE AND LEARN TO DIE.

But one
thing is needful:

As I live. saith
the LORD GOD. I
have no pleasure in the
death of the wicked

Black and white plaques

The rectangular plaques above are all attributed to Staffordshire potteries. The plaque with the white border was likely a factory second, and not seen as worth decorating. The circular plaque with the angel is attributed to Newbottle High Pottery (Wearside), and the other with the eye to Cornfoot, Carr & Co, North Shields (Tyneside).

Brightly coloured plaques

A group of brightly coloured plaques without makers marks. The four larger plaques (two round; two rectangular), and the round one with the angel, are from the Garrison Pottery.  The others are mostly attributed to Sheriff Hill. The bottom left plaque and top centre hand-painted plaque (Prepare...) are attributed to Thomas Fell, St Peter's Pottery in Newcastle. The three longer verses are transcribed below.
Twelve plaques with green decoration. The top three circular plaques have the semicircular impressed 'MALING' mark. The middle left plaque too, but with an impressed flower above the mark. The others with flecked decoration are also attributed to Maling. The pair of plaques on the right, with red and green borders, are attributed to Moore & Co's Wear Pottery in Sunderland. The bottom right plaque, with three angels, is from an as yet unidentified pottery.
