Material culture artefacts from the second half of the 20th century, both valuable decorative items and utility objects, are included in the stored collections of glassware and ceramics. *[Glassware by Jerzy Słuczan Orkusz – Glassware Store 208, Main Building] The collection includes modern glassware designed by Henryk Albin Tomaszewski, Zbigniew Horbowy, Władysław Zych, Jerzy Orkusz and many others.

Also impressive is the collection of post-war ceramics, particularly objects from Krakow and the workshops in Włocławek, Ćmielów, Chodzież, and Koło.

The Museum's collections also include traditional ceramics from various parts of Poland including a large collection of Hutsul ceramics from the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The bowl on display is the work of Aleksander Bachmiński, one of the most well known potters from Kosów. It was purchased in 1877 at a national exhibition in Lwów by Count Włodzimierz Dzieduszycki, an expert and aficionado of Polish ceramics, and donated to the Krakow Technical and Industrial Museum. It was later passed on to us together with the collections of that institution.
