[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 692284, member: 8184"]This is what happens when you need an actual expert. I'm having a hard time categorizing this piece... the ground looks like [URL='http://www.gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/lace/collection/buckspoint.htm']Buck's Point Ground[/URL] to me (a bobbin lace), but .... the rest doesn't fit with that. (SIDEBAR: My favorite lace book calls this simply, "point ground" with multiple "also known as" including Buck's) At least I don't think so. Simplest answer is definitely "needlerun lace" -- it's what makes the most sense, would have been most common. *squinting at pictures* Expert needed. Whatever an expert would call it, it is truly lovely.[/QUOTE]
