The exhibition at the Palace Museum has 187 items, 120 of which are from Shanglinhu.

The rest are from other sites, including the Famen Temple.

According to Wang Yamin, deputy director of the Palace Museum, the display also marks the 30th anniversary of the Famen Temple find.

"Mise porcelain, fired in the Yue Kiln in Zhejiang represents the quality and aesthetics of Chinese ceramic production from the ninth to the 11th centuries," says Wang.

Meanwhile, Shen Yueming, a researcher at the Archaeology Institute of Zhejiang Province, says that materials used to make mise porcelain were different from those used for ordinary celadon made in the Yue Kiln.

"It (mise porcelain) is more delicate and the colors are purer," he says.
