Therefore, after you smell the environment and experience the feeling of being in the hall where the Treaty of Sevres was once signed here, which we have seen and read about in textbooks for years, you begin to take an interest in the objects in the hall. Among these, the most important one for us may be the dark blue vase on the right of the entrance; because that vase was made to commemorate the end of World War I. The giant white vase in the middle is Neptune Vase – Le Vase Neptune passes as. 1867The largest ceramic vase of its time in 3,15 meters tall and weighing a full ton.
