What kind of sound does the glass make when you tap it with a fingernail? Crystal has a distinct "ring" to it while glass is more of a dull thunk....
It's a real mystery you've got on your hands, that's the one thing we do know for sure!
Call me crazy, but it's reminding me of fish bone/cartilage structures.... It's vaguely familiar, but isn't from a stingray or shark.
Interesting that there's so little information available--I thought there'd be something on "Mr. Potts Design"--by a collector or even by Haeger....
One sold on Etsy--but has absolutely no available information to add to what you already know. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/184295809723835685/
It's lovely--such a happy colour and shape!

Thanks for clarifying it's from Turkey, Deborah and OwnedbyBear. And Iznik--in style, right? Gorgeous stuff now that I've googled it--thanks for...
