Since the Oriental Ceramic Society was established in 1921 it has organised a number of exhibitions which have comprised, wholly or in part, material from the collections of its members. Coming into the 21st century, the Society decided to stage a series of exhibitions taking as their these the decorative techniques applied to Asian ceramics. The first of these exhibitions was held in 2003 and was shown in three venues--in London, Bath and Glasgow. This exhibition tackled the subject of underglaze cobalt blue decoration and was called The World in Blue and White. The second in the series was held in 2006 and examined ceramics with polychrome decoration, whether applied directly to the unfired ceramic body or slip, or applied over an already fired glaze. This exhibition was called The World in Colours, and, like the current exhibition was held at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, in their Brunei Gallery.--preface.
