    Provenance: private collection
    Exh: China Pottery and Glass Exhibition, Harrods, London, 22 October – 10 November 1934
     
    The Foley and Royal Staffordshire Potteries invited a number of distinguished British artists to create contemporary ceramic designs which were then entrusted to Clarice Cliff and her assistants. The results, revealing ‘a definitely English type of contemporary and modern design and [possessing] a freshness of outlook and originality of treatment which is altogether delightful’, were displayed at a special exhibition at Harrods in 1934. (89) This set, comprising six cups and saucers, six plates, milk jug, sugar bowl and two serving dishes, is thought to be unique.

    Other artists involved included Angelica Bell, Vanessa Bell, Clarice Cliff, Duncan Grant, Barbara Hepworth, Dame Laura Knight, Paul Nash, Dod Proctor, Eric Ravilious and Graham Sutherland.

    Watercolour and pencil on tracing paper, 51.5×92cm (20¼×36⅛in)
    Provenance: William Stewart, and by descent

    This design shows one of Brangwyn’s suggestions for a Peace Pageant to be held on the Thames. Two other drawings from the series were illustrated in the Architectural Review, December 1919, which noted with regret that ‘these splendid suggestions were not adopted in the actual pageant’. (95) The other schemes involved Neptune riding a dolphin and Tritons with cornucopia, the figures to be in gilt and two and a half times life size, the dolphins and Tritons to be mounted on motor launches.
