The Applied Arts Collection of Milan (Raccolte d’Arte Applicata di Milano in Italian) is located in the
Sforza Castle museum complex under the management of the municipality of Milan
, Italy. The museum is divided into several sections with particular emphasis on jewelry, ivories, pottery and art glass.
The ceramic collection includes medieval, Renaissance and Baroque pottery, a maiolica group with pieces from 17th-century Lodi and Milan, and a collection of European chinaware and earthenware.
The collection of artistic glass includes the Gonzaga Cup, made of crystal clear glass and decorated with a pattern of small golden flowers and the Gonzaga coat of arm with a quadripartite black eagle on a white background.
