Sowerby nursery rhyme ware.
Not sure if this piece was from a nursery rhyme or a child book illustration. I remember having one of these before but do not know the pattern number. Marked on the base with Sowerby Peacock.

That picture (and we may have discussed this already) looks very much like illustrations in a book that used to belong to my mother. It was called "The Baby's Opera -- A book of old rhymes with new dresses" by Walter Crane, Engraved and printed in colours by Edmund Evans. It was published in the '20's by Federick Warne & Co, Ltd.
There is no publication date, but was inscribed to my mum and her two siblings in Julyu 1929. (Mum was born in '25)
