介绍（中）	乔赛亚·韦奇伍德（Josiah Wedgwood）的陶瓷作品唤起了十八世纪后期流行的古代风格和主题，他用黑白碧玉器制作了著名的波特兰花瓶的副本。原件出自罗马宝石切割师 Dioskourides，采用公元前 30 至 20 年间的作品风格。在十六世纪后期在塞普蒂米乌斯·西弗勒斯皇帝的坟墓中发现后，它成为古代最受尊敬的作品之一，并经历了一系列杰出的收藏，其中包括红衣主教巴贝里尼、威廉·汉密尔顿爵士，最后是波特兰公爵夫人，后者将其捐赠给了大英博物馆。原始黑白浮雕玻璃容器的肖像仍然是一个谜，尽管已经提供了许多解释。最近的一种理论是，楣板描绘了（当船只转动时）佩琉斯在她的父母和阿佛洛狄忒面前进入忒提斯与忒提斯会面，并且花瓶是作为奥古斯都皇帝的嫁妆朱莉娅在公元前 25 年与她的堂兄马库斯克劳狄乌斯马塞勒斯结婚的结婚礼物。
介绍（英）	Josiah Wedgwood, whose ceramic creations evoked the styles and themes of antiquity so popular in the late eighteenth century, produced a copy of the celebrated Portland Vase in black-and-white jasper-ware. The original, attributed to the Roman gem-cutter Dioskourides, is in the style of works made between 30 and 20 B.C. After its discovery in the late sixteenth century in the tomb of the Emperor Septimius Severus, it became one of the most admired works of antiquity and passed through an illustrious series of collections, among them those of Cardinal Barberini, Sir William Hamilton, and finally, the duchess of Portland, who donated it to the British Museum. The iconography of the original black-and-white cameo-cut glass vessel remains a mystery, though many interpretations have been offered. A recent theory is that the frieze depicts (as the vessel is turned) Peleus entering to meet Thetis in the presence of her parents and Aphrodite and that the vase was made as a wedding present for the Emperor Augustus's daugher Julia on her marriage to Marcus Claudius Marcellus, her cousin, in 25 B.C. Wedgwood continued to issue editions of the vase throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
