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. reference term-109795 adlib-term-109795 8a394dfa-6091-3a16-97c3-fb85612c23b6 20th Century, Mid reference term-107700 adlib-term-107700 8f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848 Elizabeth II reference term-114582 adlib-term-114582 511cfe35-cd51-335e-b2a9-7683f4b84bd1 literal England England country Barlaston 'Windsor Grey' reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-37088 adlib-term-37088 0a28530e-cea8-3d08-b792-a30bf68f524f clear glaze Diameter cm 23.1 Height cm 2 reference media-11742 adlib-media-11742 517747d6-f68c-38f2-b772-4f53bb1320ec jpeg aa/aa6/C_14_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616254032758 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_14_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616254032758 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_14_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616254032758 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_14_1997.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616254032758 1 image 0 media image reference term-91574 adlib-term-91574 a0b5f0e9-604a-3ba6-b03a-9870f9ec2748 dessert plate history note Purchased from `Gabor Cossa', Trumpington Street, Cambridge 1 same designer reference object-12097 adlib-object-12097 8d8a9d51-2e85-3e9e-8233-a0506b746798
