while searching for something else entirely, (isn't that just the
way?), I happened on this webpage about Thelma Goldring:-

This lady makes all sorts of exquisite Irish lace, and won a Churchill
Fellowship which she used to study connections between Irish and
Venetian lacemaking. There are photos of many different kinds of
Irish lace, all made by herself. Also, there is a link so that you
can listen to a radio programme about her and her study tour. The
photos can all be viewed in both enlarged and close up forms. (And
then there are a couple of comments that one of the pieces is
mislabelled, and is really tatting - this time, they could be right!)
It's well and truly mis-labeled! and I've sent in my comments!
The 'Limerick' is actually tatting
The 'Irish tatting' is Battenburg type tape lace
The 'Carrrickmacross' is actually Limerick
The 'Clones' is actually Carrickmacross
The christening dress is trimmed with tatting and whitework (not
Carrickmacross)
The collar (not just a 'trimming') is Irish crochet, but the detail
picture doesn't show the edge so I can't say if it's Clones (which has
characteristic edging)
They managed to get the whitework and drawn thread traycloth correctly
labelled!
And the close-up pic of the wall hanging gave the 404 page not found
error.
All that from a BBC web page!
They are nice examples of Irish laces though.
