Iznik pottery
The ceramic collection of the Topkapi Palace includes over ten thousand pieces of Chinese porcelain but almost no Iznik pottery. Most of the surviving Iznik vessels are in museums outside Turkey, but examples of the city's tile production exist in numerous cities throughout Turkey, such as İstanbul, Bursa, Edirne and Adana. In Istanbul examples of Iznik tiling can be seen in mosques, tombs, libraries, and palace buildings, such as the Rüstem Pasha Mosque, the Sokollu Mehmet Pasha Mosque, the tomb of Selim II in the Hagia Sophia complex, and certain buildings of the Topkapı Palace complex such as the Circumcision room and the Baghdad Kiosk.

Though not opened to public, the 48 Underground Palaces act as time capsules, storing memories of the human race. Every year, the Underground Palace Treasures Enshrinement Ceremony is held for the entombment of the artifacts that have been donated from around the world. The goal is to preserve human culture, people's faith and their lifestyles. The various artifacts collected are either of great historical, contemporary or commemorative value. One of these underground palaces will be opened every one hundred years, then other items will be stored and the palace will be sealed again. For people to understand the function of the Underground Palace, there is a permanent exhibition located on the 1st floor of the Main Hall called the Museum of Underground Palaces.
