Identify porcelain COA “Culpta Victa”

[cliquotscloset]

This porcelain box contains 4 small trays, Ashrays I presume. The coat of arms has “Culpta Victa” inscribed. The hallmark on the bottom I can only make out “Made in..”

Any help appreciated!

At least I was close in my first post with "Glory to the Vanquished."  I don't know why I even try with Latin nowadays.  I never knew more than a smidgen and that was so long ago that Latin was still a live language...  😄

Well, you were absolutely right: "Glory to the Vanquished" (as opposed to "Vanquished Glory") would indeed be "Gloria Victis." Not that it matters anyway, as I'm quite sure you are also correct about it being a fantasy motto.

I have a similar piece but it is heart shaped. Mine reads CLORIA VICTA and is stamped Occupied Japan on bottom.
