More  information about this plate and company.
The "Peacock" appears to have been a favorite design of the Edwin M. Knowles Company: e.g. two plates features the Aesop Story of "The Jay and Peacock" (BX6 and NB6) and also a dinner plate design known as "Peacock and Floral Center (KTK6) — all featured at Replacements under the Edwin M. Knowles Co. listing.

For information about the company, see: "Your Guide to Buying Knowles Collector Plates." from which the following is excreted —  Knowles collector plates are divided into two distinct historical periods which are marked by their different manufacturers and associated themes. The original Edwin M. Knowles China Co., which established the name, no longer exists. Yet, its pieces still float around on the market and generally carry a much higher price point. The modern version of the Edwin M. Knowles China Company, by contrast, still produces new items each year. The name Knowles in the collector plate field refers specifically to a man named Edwin M. Knowles. The son of pottery producer Isaac Watt Knowles, Edwin began producing what he called the finest quality semi - vitreous chinaware after graduating from Harvard University in 1890. Officially entering the market in 1901, Knowles' pieces rapidly grew in popularity throughout the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries which increased both demand and production of Knowles' product through the Depression Era and beyond. This peacock plate is from this period of Knowles production.

More about thus plate and company:
    The Phillips pottery was founded by 22 and 20 year old brothers, Edward and George Phillips, in 1822. One of the brothers, Edward, was married to Benedicta Wedgwood, who had become the ward of Josiah Wedgwood after the death of her father, Thomas, of the Overhouse Works. The brothers leased the New Bridge pottery in Longport which had been vacant since 1817.  It was superbly located on the Trent and Mersey Canal.  
    The older brother, Edward, was enthusiastic about the possibilities of exporting their wares to America as other potters nearby were already involved with trade to America.  In September 1831, he along with his wife and children were on their way to America when tragedy struck and Edward was killed in a carriage accident.   His widow sold her interest in the pottery to George in 1834 and the marks were changed to G. PHILLIPS.  George continued many of the patterns, and while maintaining the quality of earlier wares, he also introduced two new patterns, Verona and Park Scenery, which were both enormously popular.   Park Scenery was produced in red, green,  blue and brown.  Sadly, George also met with an untimely death, at the age of 45.  The following year, his factory and home were auctioned and his wife left Staffordshire with their children to start a new life in Australia.
     A partial dinner service in blue is in the collection of Olde York Historical Society in York, Maine.   The Hollis NH Historical Society owns a platter, and shards have been excavated in Deerfield, MA.   Many of the buildings on the New Bridge site survived well into the 20th century, and the master potter’s house, occupied by George Phillips and his family until 1841, is now the Duke of Bridgewater Inn. The bottle ovens and factory buildings were demolished in the mid twentieth century. The above information is from the  website: "Nancy's Daily Dish"

Albert E .Jones Ltd. of Garfield works, Longton Staffordshire, manufactured earthenware from c.1908 to 1946 under the trade name of Palissy Pottery. The two most successful tableware designs they made were: [1] Avon Scenes, a blue and white printed pattern based on an English design from the early 19th century. [2] Game Series, a brown printed pattern with hand coloured centres of ducks, pheasants, peacocks and grouse. The design is typical of the Edwardian period when wealthy families included a game course in the evening meal and purchased tableware specifically for serving the game dishes.(They also had special fish services for the fish course of the meal). Palissy continued to make the popular Games Series and Avon Scenes until the 1980s. The Palissy factory was closed in 1989. Unfortunately the whereabouts of the factory records is not known and therefore it is difficult to trace individual patterns. Information reprinted from Palissy Website

More about the Rookwood Bookends
Rookwood Pottery of Cincinnati was the first to gain artistic recognition and respect for the United States. In 1889, Rookwood was awarded the First Prize Gold Medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle. This was a shock to the international artistic community who had never really paid much attention to American ceramics. In less than a decade after starting as a hobby pottery shop, Rookwood had grown to become a company with an international reputation for ceramic excellence. This recognition forever changed the way the international community viewed American art.
In 1876, Maria Longworth from Cincinnati attended the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. With over four hundred countries displaying the finest of their ceramic accomplishments, many thought that the American pieces were inferior. At this time, this perception was not unusual. It was generally thought that American art was hundreds of years behind the rest of the world. Especially in ceramics, American art was considered unrefined, made with little talent or technique.
Inspired by the Japanese designs she saw in Philadelphia, Maria began to dream of changing that perception. Fortunately, Maria was a woman with aspirations and means. The daughter of real estate millionaire and arts patron Joseph Longworth, Maria asked her father to provide the funds for her own pottery. She believed that the key to creating fine art was to create an environment filled with talent, ideas and inspiration.
Named after the Longworth family estate in Cincinnati, Rookwood became the first female manufacturing company in the United States. She hired a team of famous artists, talented art students and glaze technicians and encouraged them to exchange ideas. Most importantly, she encouraged her employees to be creative, to try new subjects, new techniques and new mediums. Whatever inspired them to create fine art.
