Porcelain treasures worth €9.5m stolen from French museum, The Guardian, 5 September 2025
Thieves make off with ‘particularly important’ Chinese works dating back to the 14th century.
Thieves snatched three porcelain works worth millions of euros in a night raid on a French museum.
The robbers triggered the alarm at the Adrien Dubouché institute in Limoges early on Thursday. They smashed a window to gain entry, said a source, who asked not to be named.
The museum said the gang made off with “two particularly important dishes of Chinese porcelain … dating from the 14th and 15th centuries” and an 18th-century Chinese vase, all designated as “national treasures”.
