介绍（中）	切尔西凯拉米克艺术作品是第一家将自己指定为"艺术陶器"的美国陶瓷公司。它由罗伯逊家族的成员在马萨诸塞州切尔西创立，他们在来到这个国家之前都在英国的陶瓷行业磨练了自己的技能。这个朝圣者花瓶是休·罗伯逊在 1870 年代末和 1880 年代初的典型作品。虽然它的形式与中世纪的食堂有关，但这艘船更直接地与当代英国艺术品保持一致，特别是在明顿和道尔顿陶器厂制作的花瓶。这个烧瓶有一个中央奖章，描绘了一个邮递员骑马进城并吹嘘他的到来。罗伯逊巧妙地雕刻了这个场景（他的会标出现在右下角），他复制了詹姆斯·E·凯利（James E. Kellly）的"一个旧时代的后男孩"的图像，这幅插图出现在流行杂志《斯克里布纳月刊》的1878年5月刊上。罗伯森在花瓶下边缘的拼写错误的铭文中公开承认了他的来源："在凯利[原文如此]之后。陶瓷历史学家埃德温·阿特利·巴伯（Edwin AtLee Barber）注意到这种设计只生产了五六个例子，描述了烧瓶是如何执行的："这些数字是由休·C·罗伯逊先生以低浮雕建模的，有效的釉料增加了深度和距离。它们在白色粘土中加工，放在花瓶的黄色主体上，然后用单一釉料覆盖，在黄橄榄色或老鼠色的地面上产生灰蓝色设计的效果。这个花瓶来自2017年和2018年捐赠给大都会博物馆的美国艺术陶器小罗伯特·A·埃里森收藏。收藏中的作品可以追溯到 1870 年代中期至 1950 年代。它们共同构成了已知最全面和最重要的材料组合之一。
介绍（英）	The Chelsea Keramic Art Works was the first American ceramics firm to designate itself an "art pottery." It was founded in Chelsea, Massachusetts, by members of the Robertson family, all of whom had honed their skills in the ceramics industry in Britain before coming to this country. This pilgrim vase is typical of Hugh Robertson’s work in the late 1870s and early 1880s. Although its form relates to medieval canteens, this vessel is more directly aligned with contemporary English art wares, notably vases executed at the Mintons and Doulton potteries. This flask features a central medallion depicting a mail carrier riding into town and trumpeting his arrival. Robertson, who skillfully sculpted the scene (his monogram appears at the lower right), copied the imagery from James E. Kellly’s "An Old Time Post-Boy," an illustration that appeared in the May 1878 issue of the popular magazine Scribner’s Monthly. Roberson openly acknowledged his source in a misspelled inscription at the lower edge of the vase: "after Keley [sic]." Noting that only five or six examples of this design were produced, Ceramics historian Edwin AtLee Barber described how the flasks were executed: "The figures were modelled by Mr. Hugh C. Robertson in low relief, to which an effective glaze adds depth and distance. They were worked in white clay and laid on the yellow body of the vase and then covered with a single glaze, producing the effect of a grayish blue design against a yellowish-olive or mouse-colored ground." 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.
