A very rare EXAMPLE OF A TRULY DOCUMENTED SINGLE CRYSTAL FROM THE OLD CLASSIC FINDS OF JAPAN In THE LATE 1800S! This is a superb crystal, in any case, but the label adds a lot of value in my book as a collectible. Wada was the most famous Japanese collector of his time. Ex Berridge collection via the Phoenix Museum.
