Topic: Tortoiseshell vase with chartreuse

[Joscyn]

I wonder if anyone (Ivo? as you have been so helpful?) can help with this large tortoiseshell vase?  It is thick and measures 30.5cm (high) by 7.5cm (diameter). 
I thought it was simply tortoiseshell until I got it home and could see a chartreuse swirled through it visible most at the base and in the body as little tiny spots mostly on two sides.
I hope the pictures might help but, as a beginner, I am not always taking the best shots.
Yours sincerely,
Ian

Hi Ian, this ones Mdina.

The chartreuse is silver chloride

Thank you, both of you.

Your vase would have been made in the mid or late 1970s and it is quite a tall example.
