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.

Renaissance bronze bell, 1555. Dated. Stem decorated with plant elements, has shoulders decorated with elegant lines, the middle has profiles within plant garlands and two legends above and below in Latin. Bells were already used by Catholics to call the faithful from the 5th century, but their use in civil matters and in other religions is known to have been in Greek and Roman times. The decoration of this bell, made in relief, places it in the Renaissance due to its inspiration in Roman coins for the profiles and plant elements it presents. Likewise, the date of the body places the creation of the piece with certainty, in addition to adding value to it. The inscriptions prove its religious use.
