I think it's usually called apple green or at least a very light green. What is it and can you show me the rest? Is that a pontil?

I guess it is close to an apple green. It is almost a yellow-olive if there is such a color. From your photo it looks to have a bit of greyish cast but as you know photos can be very deceiving. I imagine when placed on an apple green jar it will look a bit grey and wihen placed on an olive green jar it will look a bit yellow. I don't think there are two light green jars out there that are 100% identical in color and no green jar that has a lid that 100% matches color. This is partly because the glass in a lid is thicker than the glass on a jar's neck.
