介绍（中）	查尔斯·费格斯·宾斯可以被认为是美国艺术和工作室陶艺之父，也是美国陶瓷领域最具影响力的教育家之一。作为英国陶器工业的产物，他的父亲是斯塔福德郡著名的皇家伍斯特瓷器厂的艺术总监和联合董事总经理。年轻的宾斯在1897年移民到美国之前，完善了他的粘土技术。他首先定居在新泽西州特伦顿，那里有一个繁荣的陶瓷产业，并担任多家公司的顾问。然而，他最著名的是他在新成立的纽约州立粘土加工与陶瓷学院（现为阿尔弗雷德大学的纽约州立陶瓷学院）中的角色，这是第一个授予陶瓷学位的美国机构。他领导的这个项目是全国最有名的，他培训和指导了许多艺术陶艺家，包括马布里黑德陶艺厂的阿瑟·巴格斯和弗雷德里克·沃拉思。对于他自己的作品，宾斯避开了表面装饰，而是选择了用他完善的釉覆盖的精致器皿。在他漫长的职业生涯中，他一直以这种方式工作。例如，这个花瓶是一个比例匀称、腰身简单的花瓶，但在其施釉上却很雄伟，细致的野兔呼吸釉从棕色变成深蓝色，再变成淡蓝色。大都会博物馆在1935年举办了一次回顾性纪念展览，以纪念宾斯的成就。
介绍（英）	Charles Fergus Binns can be considered the father of American art and studio pottery, and one of the most influential educators in the field of ceramics in the United States. A product of the English pottery industry—his father was art director and co-managing director of the celebrated Royal Worcester Porcelain Works in Staffordshire—the young Binns perfected his skills in clay before immigrating to the states in 1897. He first settled in Trenton, New Jersey, which had a thriving ceramics industry, and served as an advisor to a number of firms. He is best known, however, for his role in the newly formed New York State School of Clay-Working and Ceramics (now the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University), the first American institution to grant a degree in ceramics. The program he led was the most renown in the country, and he trained and mentored numerous art potters, including Arthur Baggs, of the Marblehead Pottery, and Frederick Walrath. For his own work, Binns eschewed surface decoration in favor exquisitely thrown vessels covered in glazes he perfected. He worked in this mode throughout his long career. This vase, for example, is a well-proportioned, simple waisted form, but majestic in its applied glazes—meticulous hare’s breath glaze turning from brown to deep blue to pale blue-green. The Metropolitan Museum honored Binns’s achievements with a retrospective memorial exhibition in 1935.
