Gardeners' Arms – Sunderland
Dixon, Phillips & Co, Garrison Pottery
The Dixon, Phillips and Co impress was used from about 1839–1850. The bowl below is likely from the 1840s.
The jug below is possibly from the same transfer plate. The flowers around the collar are particular to Dixon's.

Moore & Co's Wear Pottery c1830s
Moore & Co's Wear Pottery c1840
Scott's Southwick Pottery
The jug has a printed mark for Scott of Southwick. The flowers around the collar are typical of that pottery.
The mug below, although unmarked, comes from the same transfer plate. Note the small vertical nick above the 'M' in arms. The first detail above is from the jug. The second mug also appears to be from the same transfer plate, although the flaw above the 'M' is harder to see.
Gardeners' Arms – Tyneside
Attributed to Carr and Patton, North Shields, 1838–1846
A version of the transfer on a heavily lustred North Shields jug. The title has been trimmed from the bottom on this jug, but can be seen on the second jug below. Although unmarked, the horizontal lustre strokes on the handle on the handle are typical of Carr and Patton items.
Attributed to Carr and Patton, North Shields, 1838–1846
Another version of the transfer attributed to the above North Shields partnership. This jug again is decorated with horizontal lustre strokes on the handle.
Attributed to John Carr & Sons, North Shields, c1850
This appears to be an earlier imprint from the same transfer plate as the London-impressed bowls in the next section, and the items below are attributed to Carr on that basis. Note the back shape in the crook of the figure's right knee.
Attributed to John Carr & Sons, North Shields – London impressed mark
Both Dixon and Carr appear to have produced these heavily potted moulded bowls with a pedestal. A variation of the London impressed mark on the bowl below was used by several Tyneside potteries. This particular impress is found on plaques reliably attributed to Carr. The wavy lustre decoration is also typical of Carr. The bowl likely dates from after 1860.
This transfer is the same as on the pedestal bowl above. This time on a large wash bowl, again with typical Carr lustre decoration and an impressed London mark.
John Carr & Sons, North Shields – impressed stag mark
This version on an orange lustre bowl after 1870. Ian Sharp writes that he John Carr and Sons impressed mark with stags head was used 1861–1896.
James Wallace & Co, Forth Banks, Newcastle Pottery – 1838–1858
This version of the transfer is very similar to the one used by the Garrison Pottery. However, it pairs with a Masons' Arms transfer on this jug associated with the Newcastle Pottery.
