HERCULANEUM

Fig. 37.

The crest of the borough of Liverpool, a bird called the Liver, or Lever, with wings expanded, and bearing its beak a sprig of the plant liverwort. Of this mark of the crest three varieties are shown on Figs. [38 to 40]; they are all impressed in the ware. An anchor, with and without the word Liverpool in a curve, above it (Fig. [41]), impressed. Another, and more imposing looking mark, has the name of the pattern (“Pekin Palm,” for instance) within a wreath of foliage, surmounted with the crest of Liverpool, on an heraldic wreath.

Figs. 38 to 40.
