Gunnar Silverberg began his career in his father Axel Silverberg’s furniture workshop, where he learned the craft of furniture making from the ground up. In the 1940s, he opened his own furniture store in Malmö, Sweden. When the property was later slated for demolition, he was offered the opportunity to lease premises on three floors in the newly constructed Valand Building. This would go on to become one of southern Sweden’s most significant furniture stores. His interest in Oriental porcelain was also reflected in the range he offered, and he undertook purchasing trips to, among other places, China and London.

Shards and kiln tools were found scattered in abundance along the riverbanks, a sign that the ancient kilns of Huozhou were of a relatively large scale. The multiple surveys done from the 1970s to 1990s helped give experts an idea of the Huozhou kiln complex. Bun-shaped kilns and brick caves for unburnt earthenware for drying were discovered. The sites were buried underground and depths between 1.5 and 5 meters. The white-glazed porcelain shards retrieved included bowls, plates, dishes, vases, pots and stem-cups. The wares are for the most part plain and undecorated, with a small quantity displaying moulded designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThese findings filled an archaeological gap.

Here, high quality white wares were produced from Jin to the Ming dynasty. Huozhou wares were also unearthed in Khanbaliq (Dadu) and ancient Karakorum, the capital of the Mongol empire. The discoveries indicate that porcelain products fired at Huozhou kilns were traded at the \"high-end market\", and likely used at the court of the Yuan Dynasty, according to the scholars Yu Luyang and Zhu Xinhai.
