so I'm just thinking that if the iridescent colour over the top is not green then it wont be creta papillon if you see what I mean.

The vase is Loetz and would be classified as Creta Papillon. Creta, as with Candia, Rubin etc, refers to the ground color of the vessel, and not to the color of the decor applied to it.... so in this case, the decor is Papillon, applied to a Creta vessel...
There are also many examples of Loetz Papillon pieces with no pontils and cut/polished tops.....
