Inside the bowl is a smaller graphic emblem of a mermaid in a boat, under the yellow-rayed sun in a blue sky, surrounded by four sets of oars (sixteen in total).

In 1930 he married Eileen Lucy \"Tirzah\" Garwood (1908-1951) also a noted artist and engraver. From around 1936, he became one of Wedgwood\u2019s 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 \u2013 a mode of decoration which allowed the artist\u2019s own work and \u2018hand-writing\u2019 to be reproduced in a factory setting, and well suited to Ravilious\u2019 style.\n\nThe 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\u2019 engravings.\n\n\u2018Boat Race Day\u2019 was designed in 1938, and appeared on a bowl, cup and stand until around 1940. Earlier designs were engraved at the factory from Ravilious\u2019 drawings, but the \u2018Boat Race\u2019 images were lithographs drawn by Ravilious himself for direct application to the ware. The design was not among Ravilious designs produced again in the early 1950s, but a limited edition of 200 \u2018Boat Race Day\u2019 bowls was re-issued in 1975, with a special backstamp."}],"periods":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-129191","uid":"adlib-term-129191","uuid":"ade43f1c-665a-33c2-94b2-01fe23e27ba5"},"summary_title":"20th Century"}],"places":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-107658","uid":"adlib-term-107658","uuid":"824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270"},"hierarchies":[[{"@link":{"type":"literal"},"name":[{"value":"England"}],"summary_title":"England","type":"country"}]],"summary_title":"Staffordshire"}]}]},"materials":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-42861","uid":"adlib-term-42861","uuid":"5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c"},"summary_title":"earthenware"}}],"name":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-90128","uid":"adlib-term-90128","uuid":"80508d5f-b781-35cb-a432-23963b0f8d00"},"summary_title":"goblet"}}],"owners":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-193520","uid":"adlib-agent-193520","uuid":"b3fa99f4-dbe5-3f67-8cf3-51361a1b55f9"},"summary_title":"Keatley Trust"}],"summary":{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-90128","uid":"adlib-term-90128","uuid":"80508d5f-b781-35cb-a432-23963b0f8d00"},"summary_title":"goblet"}},"summary_title":"goblet","techniques":[{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-27609","uid":"adlib-term-27609","uuid":"24085754-163a-3653-9aa3-b0d134e47fef"},"summary_title":"glazed"}},{"reference":{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"term-28385","uid":"adlib-term-28385","uuid":"7dacb6d0-5f66-3799-ba2d-7385b5055002"},"summary_title":"thrown"}}],"title":[{"value":"Boat Race Day Goblet"}],"type":{"base":"object","type":"OBJECT"}}
