Metropolis Majolica
5d.Majolica - a jol(t)(jar) inside mica(isinglass)
Metrolpolis - tripoli with o for 1st i inside mes(s)(chaos
Danny - my solution too. But isn't mica a crystalline element used in glass production, whereas isinglass is a substance from sturgeon's roe used as wine finings . Thus I think we're looking at a clever Paul device: break up isinglass and we get IS IN GLASS
Another meaning for isinglass
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mica Thin transparent sheets of mica called "isinglass" were used for peepholes in boilers, lanterns, stoves, and kerosene heaters
Thanks for the link Danny. Looks like isinglass can be quite different things.
