More than 4,000 porcelain pieces by over 400 artists from around the world are being displayed at the China Porcelain expo in Zibo city in Shandong province.

Many pieces feature an Olympic element. The creator of this mini-Bird's Nest came up with the idea a year ago to show his support for the Beijing Olympics and Paralymics.

And this set of tea pots is called the "Five Continents in Harmony." It is decorated with China's five ancient sports.

Artists have also moved their workshop to the expo, bringing the secrets of creating a porcelain out where everyone can see. The artists are making a piece of porcelain shaped like the lucky cloud torch and the five Olympics rings.
