The center well has the coat of arms of Fazakerley quarterly, "Gules, three men's heads couped at the neck proper, on each a cap argent," quartering other Fazakerley coats, "Ermine three bars vers" and "Sable, three swans argent," impaling Lutwyche of Salop, "Or, an heraldic tiger passant gules." The arms are encircled by a floral garland and black and gold cable roundel. The Fazakerley swan crest, "A swan proper," is in a gilt roundel at the top of the wide rim. The Fazakerley family had lived in Lancaster since Henry VIII's reign, in the then village of Fazakerley, 4 miles to the north-east of the center of Liverpool. Although a well-known Jacobite, Nicholas Fazakerley was Recorder and M.P. for Preston from 1732 ot 1767, and married Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Lutwyche, K.C., M.P. for Kynaston. The Reeves Center Collection has three pieces from a circa 1720 service made for William Fazakerley of Lancashire, chief supercargo for a number of ships that sailed to Canton between 1720 and 1723.
