The Oriental Ceramic Society (OCS) is one of the leading international societies for the study and appreciation of Asian art, with a special interest in ceramics. However its wider focus is the study and appreciation of all aspects of oriental art, and over the last 90 years has served as one of the main bodies assisting the understanding of oriental art, and oriental ceramics in particular, by means of organising regular meetings, lectures and publications. The Society was founded in London in 1921 by a group of collectors and others interested in oriental ceramics. Since then, many notable art historians and collectors have joined the OCS, have given lectures to the Society and have written articles for publication in the annual Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society (TOCS, currently edited by Dr Stacey Pierson). The Transactions are a highly regarded journal on Asian art, and the annual Newsletter brings news on Asian art from around the world. Through lectures, handling sessions, exhibitions and publications, the Society has provided an influential forum in which its members have developed and exchanged their knowledge with experts and academics.
