A unique treasure trove of the Ming dynasty porcelain was recovered from a shipwreck near the coast of Malaysia.
A large part of the salvaged 6,000 blue and white porcelain items are in perfect condition, despite being underwater for about 400 years. Among the recovered items are bowls bearing the mark of Emperor Chenghua, who ruled China in the 15th Century.
The 21-metre vessel is thought to have been a Portuguese merchant ship that may have been blown up by a rival ship. It was probably sunk in the early 1600s as it was sailing from China to the Indonesian city of Jakarta.
Some of the plates and vases carry the mark of Emperor Chenghua, who ruled from 1465 to 1487. Others show the mark of Emperor Chia-ching, who ruled from 1522 to 1566.
