'Where is it Now?' Number 5

The 5th of our 'Where is it Now?' objects, again from the photograph albums in the Phillips of Hitchin archives at the Brotherton Library Special Collections, is this garniture of Chinese vases.

Chinese Works of Art, as you know, can be exceptionally valuable at the moment, so we hope that someone can identify these objects and their current location? According to the Phillips of Hitchin archive this garniture was sold to the famous dealer Robert Partridge, elder brother of Frank Partridge, for £140 in c.1900.
