Are You Interested In Oriental Art ?

Join a friendly, scholarly but informal, society that supports knowledge and understanding of the arts of Asia. Meet people with similar interests to your own - they include collectors, curators, scholars, specialised dealers and those with a general interest in the great cultures of the Orient.

The Oriental Ceramic Society (founded in 1921) is based in London but has a worldwide membership. It organises visits to both public and private collections of oriental material, holds seminars, identification meetings and trips to museums in Europe and Asia. Its monthly lectures from October to June are held at the Society of Antiquaries in Piccadilly, London.
