Hello Ilske
Yes I'm sure that this is another Chinese made needlelace mat.
Would you mind if I added one of your photos to the page on my website;
just to show haw prolific the Chinese lacemakers are.
I have just updated that page with a scan, sent to me by Angela, of
some Venetian type NL made on a hand-machine. From a distance it's a
good imitation of Venetian Gros Point but close up you can see that the
stitches are very different from those of the Chinese mats.

Dear Lacefriends,
Just back from the antique market we had today in Wandsbek, a part
from Hamburg. Guess what I found there. Yes, such a probably Chinese
needle-lace mat. It is 42 cm/ nearly 17 inch. diameter. It has a
cetral rose motiv and around the same a bit smaller and another motiv.
I couldn't make a foto of the whole thing because my red and blue
paper weren't big enough and the sun has gone meanwhile. I do so the
next day and send it too. For the moment you can see on:
