[ckeditor.config.appended.json:  
{ extraPlugins: ‘blockquote’, toolbarGroups: [{ name: ‘blocks’ }] }

The “blockquote” plugin adds the “Blockquote” toolbar item (a button), which is part of the toolbar group “blocks”. This toolbar group is not shown by default, hence you don’t see the Blockquote button by default.

The following ckeditor.config.overlayed.json value adds the blockquote plugin and includes the ‘blocks’ toolbar group so the button appears:

{  
extraPlugins: ‘blockquote’,  
toolbarGroups: [  
{ name: ‘blocks’ }  
]  
}

See [1] for a list of plugins, toolbar items and their toolbar groups. Toolbar configuration is explained at [2].
