That's what she said!

A Y/G Escher isn't that color. They are the color of dried peas, see my post titled " The Holy Grail is Finally in my Grasp" that's the color. You have a coticule.

If you really want to know, send it over to Howard to be appraised.

" if the stone was greener than the picture" is key. Other than this - there is a difference in smoothness among coticules, and I have had ones from milky to yellow to mustard with a green tinge.

I still don't think this is an Escher - but this shouldn't stop you enjoying it

If it's a coticule, it's a really nice one and I'm happy.

Here's a picture of the vintage coticule set in wood that I used to have. The color of course is completely different.
