The napkin? is often crotcheted, tatted, needlelace or bobbinlace, not so popular anymore, but the original use was to avoid the plates scrambling on each other and prevent chips and scratches. Hope that is clear as mud ;-) The thing can be circular or square and is usually about 4-5 inches in diameter/side.
Gosh, I can't imagine putting a piece of lace between a dinner plate and a soup bowl, not with my messy guys!! Bad enough to make a placemat with lace on it as that might get messed up, but I did make a set of 6 for my sister a few years ago. They only had a tape lace corner on each of them.
