Creamware, printed underglaze in black, glazed, and hand-painted with pale blue, royal blue, yellow, and pink enamels. Large, circular bowl with deep curved sides on a narrow stem, flaring to a wider foot. There are two views of the Boat Race on the exterior, one showing spectators in a flag-bedecked boat beside a bridge, under which the smaller boats pass and and another showing a steamship, with swans and reeds on the bank in the foreground, and spectators visible in the background. 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). The colours are used sparingly to highlight features of the images.

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. 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. ‘Boat Race Day’ was designed in 1938, and appeared on a bowl, cup and stand until around 1940. 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 design was not among Ravilious designs produced again in the early 1950s, but a limited edition of 200 ‘Boat Race Day’ bowls was re-issued in 1975, with a special backstamp. reference term-129191 adlib-term-129191 ade43f1c-665a-33c2-94b2-01fe23e27ba5 20th Century reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-90128 adlib-term-90128 80508d5f-b781-35cb-a432-23963b0f8d00 goblet reference agent-193520 adlib-agent-193520 b3fa99f4-dbe5-3f67-8cf3-51361a1b55f9 Keatley Trust
