Roman glass with subtle colors is very different from the colorless Venetian glass with elegant shapes of the festive splendor of the eighteenth-century crystal. There is Chinese blue and white porcelain from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and a collection of tiles from the Netherlands, but also specimens from Spain and Syria. There also is a small collection of objets d'art.
