Dear Vasna, I definitely think it is Burano. There is a Windows XP trick you can use to see the the detail better. Right click on a detail picture (in this case not quite as detailed as I would like). Select "Set as Background" from the popup menu. Then Windows will do all the magic to enlarge the picture and let you see more detail.
The net is very square which is an indication of the Burano needlelace because they typically worked the net tighter than other needlelaces. I can also just make out that the cordonnet is only whipped, not buttonholed. Together, all these things spell Burano. This is handmade needlelace in a large wearable collar about 100 years old. The current bid is ~$40, that's a great price. But I won't bid against you! Patty Dowden --- Vasna Zago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Jane Viking Swanson! Are you out there? Dahlink, you must check out this huge and gorgeous b-berg TENT (aka tablecloth/bedspread/house cover). Kind of thick tapes, but the sheer SIZE of the piece is amazing. And people say size doesn't matter. :-D http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3703032516&category=39447 Also, I wanted to ask people's opinions about this Burano collar. Think it's real? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2899652855&category=15719&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT&rd=1 It has that beautiful milky ground, so I'm thinking it's real. What's the going price on a collar like that? I don't have any Burano in my collection and I'd like to get some. Vasna Zago If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
