The MMKA collects glass and ceramics produced from 1900 onwards with works by Mieke Groot, Richard Meitner and pieces designed by Andries Copier, Floris Meydam and K.P.C. de Bazel for Leerdam and Maastricht.
The collection of ceramics contains works by early twentieth century Arnhem earthenware factories. Artists represented in this collection are Theo Colenbrander, Lies Cosijn, Etie van Rees, Barbara Nanning and Jan van der Vaart.
