In 1930 he married Eileen Lucy "Tirzah" Garwood (1908-1951) also a noted artist and engraver. From around 1936, he became one of Wedgwood’s most prolific freelance designers, although many of his designs were not produced in quantity until after World War II, during which he was killed while serving as a war artist with the Royal Marines. Wedgwood had revived the use of engraved designs in the mid 1930s – a mode of decoration which allowed the artist’s own work and ‘hand-writing’ to be reproduced in a factory setting, and well suited to Ravilious’ style.Ravilious produced at least seven Wedgwood tableware pattern series, each with a number of vignettes on a single everyday theme, and sometimes also drew the tableware shapes for additions such as jam-pots. ‘Travel’ was designed c.1937 and first made in 1953. It was printed in black on a newly-introduced Windsor Grey body and hand coloured. A ‘Travel’ dinner service for six, depicting travel through snow and by balloon, bus, train, aeroplane, steamboat and sail, cost £17 3s 6d. Ravilious also designed commemorative wares, including a Coronation Mug for Edward VIII (1936), later adapted for the coronations of both George VI and Elizabeth II; a mug celebrating the company’s relocation to Barlaston (1939); and a ‘Boat Race Day’ bowl, cup and stand (1938). Earlier designs were engraved at the factory from Ravilious’ drawings, but the ‘Boat Race’ images were lithographs drawn by Ravilious himself for direct application to the ware.The Fitzwilliam Museum also holds a war-time watercolour by Ravilious, two books with his engravings and a number of his prints, and a book of Tirzah Ravilious’ engravings.referenceterm-109795adlib-term-1097958a394dfa-6091-3a16-97c3-fb85612c23b620th Century, Mid#referenceterm-107700adlib-term-1077008f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848Elizabeth IIreferenceterm-114582adlib-term-114582511cfe35-cd51-335e-b2a9-7683f4b84bd1literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralStaffordshireStaffordshireregionBarlaston'Windsor Grey'referenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwarereferenceterm-37088adlib-term-370880a28530e-cea8-3d08-b792-a30bf68f524fclear glazeDiametercm23.1Heightcm2referencemedia-11742adlib-media-11742517747d6-f68c-38f2-b772-4f53bb1320ecjpegaa/aa6/C_14_1997.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162540327581imagejpegaa/aa6/mid_C_14_1997.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162540327581imagejpegaa/aa6/C_14_1997.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162540327581imagejpegaa/aa6/preview_C_14_1997.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162540327581image0media
