介绍（中）	海伦娜·伍尔沃斯·麦肯（Helena Woolworth McCann）的中国出口瓷器收藏是对以其名字命名的收藏家的知识和判断的持久致敬。她收藏的物品包括约4，000件，其中441件慷慨地赠送给大都会博物馆，是在十七、十八和十九世纪按照欧洲和美国客户的订单在中国制造的。组建这样一个全面而杰出的团队不仅需要罕见的洞察力和知情的品味，而且需要在欧洲进行广泛的旅行和搜索。这种材料的典型收藏家专注于运往一个地区的商品：大陆、英国或美洲。然而，麦肯夫人的收藏不考虑市场，由此产生的收藏反映了中国瓷器在其流行的高峰期在整个西方世界的贸易的多样性和扩展性。在她于 1938 年英年早逝后，她的孩子们将收藏品捐赠给了温菲尔德基金会，该基金会是为纪念她而创建的，用于教育和慈善目的。今天，麦肯夫人非凡的中国出口瓷器收藏品分散在美国的二十六个博物馆和加拿大的一个博物馆中，并作为乐趣和指导的源泉向公众开放。她的收藏品仍然是大都会博物馆在中国出口瓷器领域的世界级藏品的亮点。
介绍（英）	The Helena Woolworth McCann collection of Chinese-export porcelain is a lasting tribute to the knowledge and judgment of the collector whose name it bears. The objects in her collection, consisting of about 4,000 pieces, of which 441 were generously given to The Met, were made in China to the order of European and American clients during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. Assembling such a comprehensive and distinguished group not only called for rare insight and informed taste, but required extensive travel and search in Europe. The typical collector of this material focuses on wares destined for one region: the Continent, England, or America. Mrs. McCann, however, collected without regard to the market, the resulting collection thus reflecting the variety and extend of the trade in Chinese porcelain throughout the Western world at the peak of its popularity. Following her untimely death in 1938, her children gave the collection to the Winfield Foundation, created in her memory for educational and charitable purposes. Today, Mrs. McCann's extraordinary collection of Chinese export porcelain is dispersed among twenty-six museums in the United States and one in Canada, and has been made accessible to the public as a source of pleasure and instruction. Pieces of her collection remain highlights of The Met's world-class holdings in Chinese-export porcelain.
