The following illustration comes from a 1923 Edwin M. Knowles catalog and features the Specialty line. These pieces didn't belong to any specific shape or line. They were generic items that were often sold as white bodies with clear glazes. Sometime pieces can be found with decorative treatments popular at the time. These include, but are not limited to, the tea set and the Ohio Jugs.

The Edwin M. Knowles China Co’s line of
Juvenile China has unusual possibilities
of profit to the dealer. Bright and breezy
art work in happy color combinations makes
a sure appeal to the youngsters of the parents.
The same high quality is maintained in this
as in our other standard lines. |
In introducing the “Funny Filet Folks”
line for kiddies’ use we believe we have
produced a decorative ornament for juvenile
china that will prove the hit of a lifetime.
It is an adaptation of the quaint “dropstitch”
embroidery with colored yarns of grandmother’s
day brought out in the same vivid colors. |
