A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME Japanese CABINET specimen from the 1800s! The plate is covered with sculptural, curtain-like, en-echelon, bubbly chalcedony. The light gray, translucent chalcedony has a very pleasing texture. The old label is glued to the bottom of a 10.7 x 9.2 cm wooden box! Really an antique artifact in itself. This showy, old-timer is from the Ogasawara Islands, near Tokyo.
