• Notes:
  Tthis display vitrine was one of twelve ordered by Tiffany & Co. of New York; due to the 1929 Stock Market crash they took delivery of only eight vitrines, the remaining four were purchased by Partridge Jewellers for their Wellington store. Around 1971 two were sold to the Dominion Museum through auction and two were purchased by a well-known Wellington antique dealer, subsequently one of the latter being purchased by Portobello Antiques in the mid-1970s.
