Ewer with bowl. Glazed porcelain. Mortiz Zdekauer, Altrohlau, Czech Republic, late 19th century. With marks on the base. Set of a washbasin and a tray decorated with bands of floral plant elements in bright blue, red and gold tones. The centre of the washbasin features a hand-painted female figure, present in many of the factory's works, which may have been made by an artist called Asti. The tray shows two other tondos with female portraits, following the same style. The markings on the base identify the piece as being made in the Moritz Zdekauer factory in Altrohlau (now in the Czech Republic, but formerly part of the Habsburg Empire). It was in operation between 1884 and 1909, changing its brand to MZ Altrolau from this date, continuing its work until 1945, being nationalised after the Second World War, continuing under the name Starorolsky Porcelan Mortiz Zdekauer.

Chapel of the Immaculate Conception. Sculpture, carved wood, glass, metal. Second half of the 18th century. A carved wooden chapel with decoration on the upper part of the railing and balusters in the shape of a vase reminiscent of the Baroque, which has three of its four fronts in transparent glass and stands slightly on circular legs. Inside, one can see a gold background (on the fourth front of the chapel, highlighting a carved and polychrome plant composition), and a polychrome sculpture of the Immaculate Conception surrounded by alternating flat and wavy and pointed and circular rays of light. The carving stands on a pedestal, and has a white tunic and a blue cloak; Mary stands on the Orb of Creation, in which a snake appears (linked to Sin). The carving shows a clear influence from Spanish Baroque models, as well as certain details such as the posture that can be linked to Neoclassicism. This mixture and the maintenance of the Baroque influence are common in 18th century Spanish sculpture.

The Fountain. Polychrome terracotta. 20th century, following models by CARRIER-BELLEUSE, Albert-Ernest (Aisne, 1824-Sèvres, 1887). The figure shows a child, lying down and almost completely naked, with his head highlighted by a crown of gold leaves. He is shown with a shell (with touches of gold), taking water from a jug at his side, thus recalling the allegories of rivers or their sources in Ancient Rome. It is necessary to compare this work with the one entitled “La Source” by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, preserved, for example, in the Art Institute of Chicago or the one in the Portland Museum of Art (of which there are a number of variants, changing the characters and the material used). Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was a French sculptor and draughtsman who trained with David d'Angers and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He achieved international recognition after his participation in the Salon des Artistes Françaises in 1861 (Third Medal), producing notable works such as several busts of Napoleon III, the fireplace in the great hall of the Paris Opera, etc. His work is preserved in prominent private collections and in institutions such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, etc. In addition, we must remember his terracottas and his monuments (such as that of Bernardo O'Higgins in Santiago de Chile). It is also worth highlighting the publication in 1884 of L\\'application de la figure humaine à la decoration et à l\\'ornementation industrielles, an important collection of decorative arts of the time, and in 1876 he was appointed art director of the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres.
