Rare Robert Maling plaques

The top right plaque titled 'Rev John Wesley AM', has the impressed Maling mark shown beneath it. The bottom centre plaque (unmarked) is an unusually small size (4.75 x 5.75 in). They are the only two plaques I've seen with this transfer.

​The plaques are hard to date.  The top centre plaque has a transfer that's also found on jugs, from the 1830s (see below).

Prepare to meet thy god

This extremely rare Maling plaque (above left) with hand-painted text appears to be a copy of plaques made in Sunderland by Dixon, Austin & Co (above right).
The impressed marks, belong to the plaques on their left.  The rectangular plaques are unmarked.

Thou god see'st me

The impressed marks, belong to the plaques on their left.  Again, the rectangular plaques are unmarked.

Later hand-painted plaques

The first plate has a Maling impressed mark, and the hand-painted inscription: Jane Anne Robson on Oct. 28, 1843 at Flagshaw Bank Gate.  Its decoration and the hand-written text are very similar to the unmarked plaques, which were likely made by Maling in the 1840s.

Similar plaques attributed to Robert Maling

Put thy trust in the Lord
And thou shalt be saved
THOU GOD SEEST ME
I know all the fowls upon the
Mountains: & the Beasts of the
Field are in my sight. P50

The black and yellow decoration of the left plaque, and the style of the mould, very similar to those used by Maling (see centre for a marked Maling example). Read more here. The pink-lustred central transfer on the right plaque is also a Maling feature.
Whoso Leadeth a Godly life
Shall be my Servent. P101

Although this transfer pairs with the one above, it appears to be much rarer.  These are the only examples I have seen.  Both borders are very unusual. At the top there is the text 'Behold the day of Judgement cometh'.
Back to top

The above three plaques come from the same mould as those with Psalm 50 above, and have the green and red enamels often used by Maling.

See above for a rare marked example from a Railton's auction catalogue.  A wash of pink lustre over the central also appears on plaques attributed to Fell.
