Attributed to Sheriff Hill Pottery, Gateshead

The attributions on this page all hinge from the marked Wesley plate below.  The Wesley transfer is found on distinctive plaque forms unique to Sheriff Hill.  The inscription on the plate is consistent with those found on items as late as 1846.

You can find out more about the Sheriff Hill Pottery in Anthony Paterson's new book '19th Century Patterson Potters and Pottery'.  Contact me using the link at the very bottom of this page for more details.

Jackson & Patterson, 1833–?

This mug and the one below are attributed to Sheriff Hill on the basis of the similarities of inscription with the other items on this page.  Despite the early date on the first mug, they are both likely from the mid 1830s. Note the similarity of the olive green enamel on the mugs below with the Wesley plate above.  It is unusual to find this particular green on North East pottery; this colour is perhaps more commonly associated with Scottish Portobello Pottery.

The Wesley transfer on this mug comes from the same copper plate as the 'Heslop' inscribed plate above.
