介绍（中）	大都会博物馆在伊朗东部尼沙布尔的发掘出土了大量的陶器，展示了该遗址在其长期居住期间采用的各种装饰技术和形状。像这样的未上釉器皿占了发现的很大一部分，这在考古发掘中通常是这种情况。这种船只的生产时间和金钱较少，主要用于功利目的，是每个家庭的共同特征。在尼沙布尔，未上釉的船只主要用于运输、储存和饮用饮用水，这些饮用水通过称为坎儿井的地下渠道从附近的山麓带入城镇。这件作品的形式密切反映了它作为饮酒器皿的功能。其宽阔的喇叭口和多孔的身体织物使水通过蒸发保持凉爽，其大的耳朵状手柄使提升和倾倒变得容易。即使是靠近其唇部的简单装饰 - 在粘土上切开的波浪状线条 - 也很容易让人想起容器的预期液体内容物。
介绍（英）	The Metropolitan Museum’s excavations at Nishapur in eastern Iran unearthed large amounts of earthenware pottery, showing the variety of decorative techniques and shapes employed at the site during its long period of inhabitation. Unglazed wares like this ewer made up a large portion of the finds, as is usually the case in archaeological excavations. Such vessels, costing less time and money to produce, served primarily utilitarian purposes and were a common feature in every household. At Nishapur, unglazed vessels were used above all for the transportation, storage and drinking of potable water, which was brought into town from the nearby foothills via underground channels called qanats. The form of this piece closely reflects its function as a drinking vessel. Its wide, flaring mouth and porous body fabric allow water to stay cool by evaporation and its large, ear-like handles make lifting and tipping easy. Even the simple decoration near its lip – a wave-like line incised into the clay – readily brings the vessel’s intended liquid contents to mind.
