Today, the kitchens  are used for the display of Palace's great Chinese and Japanese porcelains. There are over 600 pieces exhibited out of 10000. The collection of Chinese porcelains first started with Bayezid II and Selim I and mosly by Suleiman the Magnificent. The pieces date from celadons of the Sung and Yuan Dynasties (960-1368 AD) and later of Ming(18th C). The European Collections of Limoges, Sévres or Meisen opposite to this exhibition hall are less impressive.

The Porcelain Collection starts with 13th C of late Sung Dynasty on the very right of the hall. The collection is sorted in chronological order. After the Ming Period, the collections are more blues-whites combination and the designs are nicer. There are celadons, pots, coffee cups, water jugs and beautiful plates as well as cauldrons made of porcelain. At the end of the collection, there are Japanese Porcelains which most of them are from 17th-19th C Arita Porcelains. The Japanese Porcelains are more colorful compared to Chinese, red colour is dominantly used. Most of the pieces in this collection came through "The Silk Road" which passed through Ottoman Empire. Until the Suez Canal was opened, all the major trade routes used the Strait Dardanelles to reach the Mediterranean and the Indian and Pacific Ocean.

Another section on the left of the Porcelain Collection is "The Kitchen Utensils" section. The bronze coffee sets, platters, the big marble sets for cutting meat and big cauldrons are worth seeing. From the kitchen utensils section, there's passage to the Ottoman Glass Collection. This section exhibits beautiful Yildiz Porcelains and famous Beykoz Glasses. The cups on which the Ottoman Sultans' pictures are depicted are very interesting. Unfortunately this section is closed for restoration.

Tne exhibit opposite of the Porcelain Collection is "European Glass and Silver Collection". In this section, there's silver model of "Fountain of Ahmet III" which is actually located on the right of the entrance to the Palace. Most of the silver is 19th C. Ottoman Silver, some of them are gifts from European Kings. When Ottoman Empire reached its peak, they used gold as a material for cups, pots,candlesticks etc. However with the influence of European Silverware and budget problems of the Empire, they started to prefer silver as the material for mirrors, birdcages etc. There are beautiful pieces of Venetian and Irish Glasses as well as beautiful European Platters on the 2nd floor of the exhibition hall. The European Platters are examples of Vienese, Meisen, Sévres and Limogés.
