A cerâmica vermelha polida dá à argila uma superfície cuja cor e acabamento fazem parte do efeito do objeto. Uma estatueta nesta tradição de cerâmica é um ponto de partida para a galeria de Chipre, onde a cerâmica carrega grande parte da história da ilha.
A sala segue material feito ou encontrado em Chipre do quarto milênio a.C. até os tempos romanos. Os recursos de cobre e a posição da ilha no Mediterrâneo oriental a conectavam com comerciantes e sociedades vizinhas. Esses contatos existiam ao lado de tradições locais distintas.
