The Lluc ceramic collection is one of the most complete and interesting on the island. It is on public display thanks to the generosity of Antoni Mulet.

There are three sections with pieces divided according to their origin. The first section is dedicated to Mallorca and is made up of around forty green and black plates in the pincel de Inca style, all originating in Inca and Palma and dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. There are also some early 20th century pieces, in the Savona style, from the La Roqueta factory and some pieces from the mid to late 19th century in the “embroidered” style of Felanitx.

The next section is made up of earthenware from Valencia and Cataluña: of particular importance are the 16th and 17th century metallic effect plates.

There is also a separate case given over to late 18th to mid 19th century objects from the Catalan workshops of La Bisbal and Can Falló (Gerona) and Mataró. From Barcelona itself are the late 18th and early 19th century plates which were influenced by the French style.

There are some beautiful early examples of work from the La Alcora factory, including one 18th century piece by the ceramic painter Francesc Grangel. Also from the region of Valencia is a display of around 30 tiles dating from the 14th to 19th centuries.

The third part of the ceramics collection is dedicated to objects from the region of Aragon, including examples from Teruel, Muel and Vilafeliche. Of particular importance are the 16th to 18th century blue ceramic pieces, as well as the green and black pieces which date from the 16th to the 19th century.

The collection of imported ceramics mainly comprises of Italian earthenware from Montelupo (16th century), Burgio (17th century), Savona (17th century) and Pisa. There are also some interesting items from Delft (Netherlands) dating from 1750.
