....an ID if possible just for future reference :'(
and at least seeing it in cross section I note the tortoiseshell effect is only on the surface layer of glass.
3 inches high x 9 inches wide weighs (or did weigh) 3.5kgs

thanks m, appreciate it.
I've only found references to tortoiseshell glass from an Empoli company but this is not quite the same as that type of glass imho
cheers

Sorry Mel. I did hesitate on whether to show you or not... :-\

No don't be sorry m, I'm pleased to know what it was x

Mel they do look remarkably similar but they don't show a base shot on that auction and I wonder if that one might have had a flat polished base rather than a polished pontil mark? Just trying to find a get out clause here :)

Patterns (and colour) are often on the surface or just under. The colour is the expensive bit
