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 !~
Love this little turtle :)
Thank you for the love everyone

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
Really nice and great color!
Special thanks everyone for the love
