介绍（中）	休·C·罗伯逊从出生起就热衷于陶瓷，他以强烈的奉献精神和对实验的热情追求自己的工艺。他出身于一个受过训练的英国陶艺家家庭，在新泽西州磨练了自己的技艺，后来定居马萨诸塞州，成为切尔西Keramic艺术作品和后来的Dedham Pottery的创始人之一。罗伯逊一生对釉料的探索，尤其是釉料的颜色和质地，使他成为二十世纪之交美国艺术陶器的关键人物之一 19世纪80年代，罗伯逊越来越多地将注意力转向开发新的釉料配方和粘土坯。在这十年的中期，他沉迷于令人垂涎但难以捉摸的sang-de-boeuf，或oxblood，glaze，这一追求成为他后来职业生涯的标志。1885年4月，罗伯逊成为第一个成功复制牛血釉的美国人，他在单色釉中使用了同样受中国启发的形状，展示了他的新牛血釉。尽管罗伯逊对理想的牛血釉的追求是耗费精力的，但他也开创了其他上釉技术的先河，其中包括他于1886年首次实现的克拉奎莱釉。这种独特的釉料，有着精细的可见裂纹网络，是东方陶瓷的主要成分，西方人往往不会效仿，因为他们认为这种裂纹是一种缺陷。由于欣赏其美学价值，Robertson完善了一种全白裂纹釉。这只花瓶有着独特的裂纹效果，但上半部分有着明亮的树莓红桑德博乌夫釉，色彩对比鲜明，设计大胆抽象这只花瓶来自小罗伯特·A·埃里森收藏的美国艺术陶器，于2017年和2018年捐赠给大都会博物馆。收藏的作品可以追溯到19世纪70年代中期到50年代。它们共同构成了已知的这种材料中最全面、最重要的组合之一。
介绍（英）	Steeped in ceramics from birth, Hugh C. Robertson pursued his craft with fierce devotion and a passion for experimentation. From a family of trained English ceramists, he honed his skills in New Jersey before settling in Massachusetts as one of the founders of Chelsea Keramic Art Works and later, Dedham Pottery. Robertson’s lifelong explorations in glazes, particularly their color and texture, make him one of the key figures of American art pottery at the turn of the twentieth century. During the 1880s Robertson increasingly turned his attention to developing new glaze formulas and clay bodies. In the middle of the decade he became obsessed with the highly coveted yet elusive sang-de-boeuf, or oxblood, glaze, a quest that became the hallmark of his later career. In April 1885 Robertson became the first American to successfully replicate the oxblood glaze, showcasing his new oxblood glazes on the same Chinese-inspired shapes that he used for his monochrome glazes. As all-consuming as his pursuit of the ideal oxblood glaze was, Robertson also pioneered other glazing techniques, among them the craquelé glaze, which he first achieved in 1886. This distinctive type of glaze, with its fine network of visible cracks, was a staple of Eastern ceramics that Westerners tended not to emulate because they considered such crazing a flaw. Appreciating its aesthetic value, Robertson perfected an allover white crackle glaze. This vase bears this distinctive crackled effect but is enlivened on its upper half with splatters of a bright, raspberry red sang-de-boeuf glaze, offering a striking contrast of colors and a boldly abstract design. This vase is from the Robert A. Ellison Jr. Collection of American art pottery donated to the Metropolitan Museum in 2017 and 2018. The works in the collection date from the mid-1870s through the 1950s. Together they comprise one of the most comprehensive and important assemblages of this material known.
