Kettle, Teapot, Breadboard, Matches Giclée print by Eric Ravilious

Watercolour design for Dunbar Hay Ltd, a gallery-cum-shop founded in 1936 by Cecilia Dunbar Kilburn and Athole Hay. The business sold furniture, ceramics, fabrics and patterns, and traded for four years before being bombed during World War Two. Much of the stock and all of the business records were destroyed, but when the shop existed it flourished as a place where good design could be found. Bawden (see Biographies) as well as Ravilious provided art works and designs – in fact Ravilious engraved the beautiful Dunbar and Hay Ltd trade card below.

In this print we have simple objects beautifully arranged: kettle, teapot, breadboard, matches, a pair of scissors – all humble. But since so much of our lives get lived at the kitchen or dining room table, so richly evocative.
