      It’s a beautiful green and I think the satin glass really adds a lot.

      I love the deep dark green of him, really reminds me of seaweed, or some tropical palm trees maybe which is really appropriate too! I also love how simple his sculpt is, his face kinda reminds me of something cartoonish?! Especially his beady little eyes poking out of his shell! :P

      Gorgeous green and nice to see shading of back, I just love representations of turtles in glass. I would find it hard to pick in dark or light so I think having them both would be a win !~

      Thanks so much Karen for your fabulous praise, I too think the satin green glass by Westmoreland was a very special color, it reflects the light beautifully

      Lauren that's a great comparison, seaweed or palm trees can have this color and this fellow is rather tropical. I do think the face is kinda cartoony as well, awesome comment & insight thanks very much!

      Thank you Phil for your super comment & I'm also a fan of glass turtles esp when in realistic colors like green (well, this is more a fantasy shade but still a turtle's color!). The way this turtle has a darker shell and lighter body parts is really cool

      So glad you loved this glass turtle vintagelamp, another goody from your local Westmoreland glassmaker! Thank you for your wonderful comment
