Well, with some trepidation, I will venture a guess. Definitely needlelace. Definitely Art Nouveau design. But not anything that might have come out of the Vienna School presided over by Hrdlicka or Verneuil who also taught there. Both of them had much more complicated designs. Nothing in this vein in the Hrdlicka book put out by the Lace Guild. >From a book by Verneuil in which he contemplates plant forms and art, which are much more complex, not his either. From the sort of simplified design and cloudy reseau, my guess is a stab at Art Nouveau by the lace school at Burano, which produced technically wonderful stuff, but somehow lost the riotous abundance of the works they copied. I have always felt that the later Burano efforts were carved in stone.

Gentle Spiders, On my Campaign for Modern Lace Site at the Arachne Webshots, _http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/244348757BRJzVK_ (http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/244348757BRJzVK) there have been two new pictures posted. They are the second and third pictures on that album, the first still shows me. I am looking for more information about their origin, who might have designed them, etc. The second one, possibly a collar, looks like it might have been the work of Hrdlicka, although I can't find the specific pattern among the various ones I have seen published. The first, a fan, featuring a woman in medieval hat and peacocks, I haven't a clue about. Both appear to be needlelace. I would be interested in hearing any ideas.
