1868 vase with Napoleon III, WWII loot

By mmb, 30 May, 2009
Description

it is a vase that i believe commemerates the Treaty of Versailles. It has Four Emperors on it, the ruler of prussia, austria, russia, and Napoleon III of france. It has writing on the bottom rim i believe it is french with Napoleon III in big letters and the ruler of prussia. I cant make out the writing on the bottom of the vase. but it was handcrafted and painted. some of the paint is old but all in all it is in good condition

Re: 1868 vase with Napoleon III, WWII loot

I am wondering about the legality of selling stolen property from WW11. You may want to check on that because some countries have laws against having stolen WW11 items.
