More than one hundred years ago, several wooden chests filled with colorful porcelain arrived in Oslo, after a long sea voyage from Bangkok. The Norwegian sea captain Theodor Ring had acquired a sizable collection of Bencharong porcelain during his service in the Royal Siamese Navy. In 1904 Ring donated 250 pieces to two museums in the Norwegian capital. After being forgotten for generations, these and other treasures from King Chulalongkorn\'s Thailand have finally been unpacked again.
